The four major features of the proximal end are the head, neck, greater trochanter, and lesser trochanter
What is the large proximal projection on the femur?
Trochanter. A large, rough projection.trochanter
What is the greater trochanter?
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)
What two muscles abduct the thigh?
The psoas major and the iliacus (which together make up the iliopsoas) are located in the abdomen but function to move the thigh. The psoas major originates on the body and transverse process of T12-L5. The iliacus originates on the iliac fossa of the ilium. They both insert on the proximal part of the femur.
What are the five major skeleton functions?
Cranium,Vertebrate,Femur,Ribs,Patella.
What muscles attaches to the lumbar vertebrae and femur?
The primary muscles that attach to the lumbar vertebrae and the femur include the psoas major and the iliacus, which together form the iliopsoas muscle. The psoas major originates from the lumbar vertebrae and inserts onto the lesser trochanter of the femur, playing a crucial role in hip flexion. Additionally, the quadratus lumborum muscle, which stabilizes the lumbar spine, indirectly influences the femur's position through its connection to the pelvis.
Is the strongest of the hip flexor muscles?
The strongest Flexor of the hip (thigh) is illiopsoas muscle which is the merger of the illiacus and the psoas major muscle. The illiacus is on the medial side of the pelvic bone attaching to the femur and the psoas major muscle attaches from the lumbar vertebrae to the femur.
What are the three major bones that make up the knee?
The three major bones that make up the knee joint are the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap). These bones work together with ligaments, muscles, and cartilage to provide stability and facilitate movement in the knee joint.

What is the major portion of the skin?
Dermis
What does the femur do in long jump?
In long jump, the femur functions to provide power and propulsion for jumping by extending the hip joint. It is one of the major bones involved in generating force and movement during the jump. The femur works in coordination with other leg muscles and bones to execute the jump successfully.
