Is the hock of a cat located at the proximal end of the tibia and the distal end of the femur?
The hock of the cat is located between the tibia, or shin, and the talus bone, which is a bone of the paw. The cat's hock joint is comparable to a human ankle joint.
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.
A bone that has two large trochanters on its proximal end?
The humerus has two large trochanters on its proximal end.
The bones are proximal to the skin?
Proximal means "closer to the trunk of the body than" and is usually meant on a limb, for example the femur is proximal to tibia. The bones are deep to the skin.
Which bones articulate with the proximal end of the tibia?
Those bones are the tarsals, which make the ankle.The distal ends of the tibia and fibula articulate with a single tarsal bone called the talus.footfoottarsal bones

What is proximal to the tarsals?
The tibia and fibula are the bones immediately proximal to the tarsals. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg.
What articulates with the proximal tibia?
the trochlea of the talus.
Is the tibia lateral to the fibula?
The fibula is located lateral to the tibia. In overall anatomical position, the tibia is medial in the body, and the tibia lateral. Both are located in the lower leg. The tibia articulates with the patella proximally, the fibula laterally, and the talus distally.
Area of the proximal ulna that articulates with the tibia?
The ulna is a bone of the arm, and the tibia is a bone of the leg. They have no articulations.
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 are the proximal end landmarks of the tibia?
The primary proximal end landmarks of the tibia are the lateral and medial condyles. These bumps at the top of the tibia are the site where the tibia articulates with the femur. Between the condyles is the intercondylar area, which is the place where the ligaments of the knee attach. The meniscus attaches in the intercondylar area as well.
A bone that has two large trochanters on its proximal end?
The humerus has two large trochanters on its proximal end.
The bones are proximal to the skin?
Proximal means "closer to the trunk of the body than" and is usually meant on a limb, for example the femur is proximal to tibia. The bones are deep to the skin.
Is the patella distal to the tibia?
The more commonly known kneecap sits on the top (anterior) side of our tibia (shinbone), the largest and weight-bearing bone of the lower leg.

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.
