The human legs are referred to as the lower appendages, lower extremities, or lower limbs.

They are part of what is called the appendicular skeleton and include the bones of the pelvis, the thigh, the leg, and the foot.

The bone that makes up the pelvis in adults is called the OS coxae (which consists of the fused bones of the ilium, ischium, and the pubis). Then there are the bones of what most people consider the leg proper; the femur, patella, tibia, and fibula. The bones of the foot include the talus, calcaneus, cuniforms I,II, &III, cuboid, navicular, metatarsals I-V, and the phalanges of the toes.The big toe, or great toe, also called the hallux, has two phalanges, and the rest of the toes have three bones each. The singular term for one of the bones in the toes is phalanx, but the plural term for more than one is phalanges.

The legs contain four bones each, if the feet and ankles are not included:

  • The femur: thigh bone, also the longest and strongest in the body.
  • The patella: kneecap.
  • The fibula: the shorter of two bones in the lower leg, to the outside and behind the tibia.
  • The tibia: the longer bone in the lower leg, connected to both ankle and knee (the fibula is only in the ankle, and connected to the back of this).

The thigh bone is the femur, the knee bone is the patella, and the bones below the knee are the fibula and the tibia.
The most common leg bones are the Femur or Thigh bone, the patella or the knee cap, the tibia which is the larger of the two leg bones located below the knee cap and the fibula the smaller of the two leg bones located below the knee cap there is also the medial malleollus, the lateral malleollus and the metatarsalls (toe bones)
Femur, patella, tibia and fibula
7 bone are in the leg
the femur, the patella, the tibia, and the fibula
in your Leg you have a bone called your Femur which is actually one of the biggest bones in your body.

Starting at the acetabullum(hip/pelvis), the femur is the major thigh bone. The femur articulates with the tibia. The tibia is the more anterior of the the bones of the lower leg. Articulating with the tibia is the fibula. These two bones articulate with the talus of the foot.
