They are the same. Femur = thigh bone = longest bone of skeletal system
yes
The Femur is your Thigh Bone...so they are the same size.
Same artery is called as femoral artery. Here it enters the thigh and femur is the thigh bone.
It's the same bone viewed from the back. Anterior is the front view of the right femur and posterior is the back view of the right femur.
same way it effects every other bone it makes it weaker
Hi, Bone marrow is the spongy material found in the center of most large bones in the body. Bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Along with a biopsy (the sampling of mostly solid tissue or bone), an aspiration (the sampling of mostly liquid) is often done on the same time. :) Bone marrow is not a bone. No, bone marrow is not a bone. Bone marrow is the substance in the bone that is a soft tissue and produces blood cells.
It depends on the bone. Not all bones are the same. Not only does it depend on the thickness of the bone, but also on the shape. For example, Hamate fracture (aka. wrist-bone-below-the-pinky fracture) is fairly common among baseball players, because it has an outward area shaped like a small hook, and it is near the surface of the palm. On the other hand, the Femur (aka. Thigh bone) is harder than concrete. Then there are factors like age, previous bone problems, etc.
lol no
From About.com: Underlying the stifle area is the stifle joint formed between the large hip bone (femur) which is equivalent to our thigh bone and the tibia, equivalent to our shin bone. The stifle joint somewhat resembles a human knee.
Yes.
the same femur
