femur
Femur-the thigh bone.
The femur bone has trochanters. The greater trochanter is located at the top of the femur where the hip muscles attach, and the lesser trochanter is located on the inner side of the femur where the thigh muscles attach.
The femur is the long bone of the leg. The two large processes of the proximal femur are the greater and lesser trochanter.
The trochanter is a bone feature of the tibia, it interacts with the femur. Its function is to aid in the stability of the knee joint.First there are two trochanters. most simply called the Greater(the larger of the two) Trochanter and the Lesser(smaller of the two) Trochanter. Most of the time the "bump" you feel on the outside of your hip/upper leg is the Greater Trochanter. As with most "bumps' on bones ,the trochanters serves as anchor attachments for the muscles in hip/leg/buttock area. Among those muscles that insert to the Greater trochanter are the the Gluteus Minimus. Gluteus Medius, and Prirformis among others. Hope this helps
Trochanter
The greater trochanter insertions are located on the femur bone in the hip region of the human body.
The greater trochanter is located on the femur bone, specifically at the proximal end of the femur where the thigh bone meets the hip bone. It serves as a point of attachment for several muscles that move the hip joint.
the greater trochanter
A trochanter (which is a large bump for muscle attachment - it is larger than a tubercle or tuberosity)
No, they are not. The intercondylar fossa is found on the femur, the greater trochanter is on the femur as well, and the tibial tuberosity is located on the tibia. None of them are bone markings of the humerus.
Trochanters are large, bony protrusions found on the femur bone in the thigh. There are two trochanters - the greater trochanter, which is located on the side of the femur, and the lesser trochanter, which is located on the back of the femur. The trochanters serve as attachment points for muscles that move the hip and thigh.
The trochanter of the femur is a bony prominence located on the upper part of the thigh bone. There are two trochanters: the greater trochanter, which is located laterally and serves as a site for muscle attachment, and the lesser trochanter, which is located medially and is involved in hip flexion.
