greater trochanter and lesser trochanter
The femur is the long bone of the leg. The two large processes of the proximal femur are the greater and lesser trochanter.
The four major features of the proximal end are the head, neck, greater trochanter, and lesser trochanter
Trochanter. A large, rough projection.trochanter
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.
the medial epicondyle and the lateral epicondyle - The gluteal tuberosity and linea aspera
The neck of the femur is bounded by the Greater and Lesser Trochanters.

gluteal tuberosity and the greater and lesser trochanters
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
Lesser trochanter:A pyramidal process projecting from the medial and proximal part of the shaft of the femur; it receives the insertion of the psoas major and iliopsoas muscles.Greater trochanter:A broad, flat process at the proximal and lateral part of the the femur; it receives the insertion of the gluteus medius and minimus, piriformis, obturator internus and externus, and gemelli muscles.(Insertion - the place where a muscle is attached to the bone which it moves)
Just the femur has a trochanter. It has a greater and a lesser trochanter. They give depth and stability to the joint.
