Which bone is the longest in the human skeleton Fibula Femur Tibia?
The femur.
What side of the body is the femur?
Your femur is not located on just one side of the body; the femur is your thighbone.
What anatomical direction is distal?
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
When selecting an iv site you work distal to proximal?
distal
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.
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the 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.
Distal femur subperiosteal abscess icd-9?
dista femur subperiosteal abscess icd-9
Where does the end of the thigh bone join with the kneecap?
The distal end of the femur joins with the patella.
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.
Is the femur distal to the tarsals?
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
Is the knee cap deep to the femur?
The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.
Where is the intercondylar fossa located?
between the condyles on the distal end of the femur, on its posterior aspect.
What portion of the femur bone helps make up the knee cap?
the portion of the femur bone that helps makes up the knee cap is considered what
The femur joins with the tibia at its distal end and fits into what at its proximal end?
The femur fits into the acetabulum at its proximal end. The acetabulum is part of the pelvis.
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.
