The cup-shaped depression on the hip joint that receives the head of the femur is called the acetabulum. It forms part of the hip bone structure known as the pelvis and allows for the articulation and movement of the femur within the hip joint. The acetabulum provides stability and support for the hip joint during weight-bearing activities.
* deep socket in the coxal bone* formed where the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fuse* the head of the femur, the thigh bone, fits in the acetabulumAcetabulum is the area on the pelvis where the head of the femur joins the pelvis. It is a concave surface that allows for the forming of the hip joint which allows you kick your leg up.The hip has these two bowl shaped regions into which the upper femur fits. This is the hip joint. That bowl shaped region is called the acetabulum.
The head of the femur articulates with the os coxa (pelvis) at the acetabulum. The acetabulum is the rounded socket that the head of the femur fits into. It also allows sliding of the pelvic bones and rotation. This joint is a synovial joint and is an example of a "ball-and-socket" joint.
The long bones in the body, such as the femur, humerus, and phalanges, are rod-shaped bones. These bones provide support and structure to the body and aid in movement.
The structure of femur include a ball-and-socket synovial joint. It is a round, cup-shaped structure on the hip bone known as the acetabulum.
The Femur is the bone that goes from your hip down to your knee. Femur length would mean how long the Femur is.

The thighbone's scientific name is the femur.
The meniscus, which is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee joint, acts as a shock absorber and cushion between the femur and tibia. Its role is to distribute the load evenly across the joint and provide stability during movement.
