Is the femur distal to the tarsals?
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
What is the name of the joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia that the patella overlaps?
The tibiofemoral joint is at the distal and of the femur and proximal end of the tibia. The femur is the thighbone, and the tibia is the larger of the two bones of the lower leg.
What bone is distal to the femur?
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.

Where does the end of the thigh bone join with the kneecap?
The distal end of the femur joins with the patella.

What are the three bones that articulate with the femur?
The proximal end of the femur articulates with the acetabulum, which is the socket joint of the pelvis. The acetabulum is formed by the fusion of the three bones which make up the pelvis, the ischium, the ilium and the pubis. The distal end of the femur articulates with the patellae (knee caps) and the tibia.
What are all the bones names in a cats rear legs?
Proximal to distal, the femur, the tibia, the patella, the fibula, the tarsal bones (ankle bones), the five metatarsals and the 12 phalanges.
What are the four bones?
fibula,tibia,humor,and femur
Where does a Femur go?
The Femur Articulates (Forms a joint) with the Acetabularium of the pelvis bone at the junction of Ilium and Ischium. This is a ball and Socket Joint. And this is at the proximal end of the Femur. The distal end of the Femur articulates with the Tibia and Fibula (The bones of the shank region). This is a hinge joint.
What are the bones that form your knee joint?
There are two. From the thigh, the distal femur interacts with the proximal tibia to form the bony structures of the knee. The patella is also present, but is not actually part of the knee joint. It acts as a lever to aid the quadriceps extend the knee in a more energy-efficient manner.
Are bones limbs?
The bones in the arms and legs. These would be the radius and ulna in the distal part of the arm. That is the part connected to the hand. In the proximal part of the arm, it would be the humerus. That is the bone connected to the shoulder. In the legs, the limb bones are the femur, the tibia and the fibula. The femur is the large bone that articulates with the hip. The tibia and fibula are in the distal leg, near the foot. The patella is the knee cap found between the femur and the tibia and fibula. Many would not consider it a limb bone, but it is found in the limbs so many would. There are also many bones in your writs, hands and feet.

What are human four leg bones called?
femur, patella, tibia and fibula
What covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia?
The meniscus covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia. This cartilage provides smooth movement and shock absorption.
