Sites of muscle attachment on the proximal femur?
The proximal femur contains several important sites of muscle attachment, including the greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, linea aspera, and medial and lateral epicondyles. These sites serve as points where muscles, tendons, and ligaments attach to the femur to allow for movement and stability of the hip joint.
What landmarks would you use to measure a femur and tibia?
The femur extends from the hip to the patella. So measure from your hip to the knee. The tibia extends from the patella to the ankle. So measure from the knee to the "ankle bone".
Is the nose lateral to the scapula?
The humerus is lateral to the sternum. The sternum, or breastbone, is midline.
What is the opposite of medial?
The opposite of medial is lateral. Medial refers to a location closer to the midline of the body, while lateral refers to a position further away from the midline.
What are the 4 parts of the femur?
There are actually 9 parts in the femur and the knee. So you might think "hey i don't need the knee" but its important. the parts are the Medial Condyle, interconylar Fossa, Lateral Condyle, Lateral Epicondyle, Tibia, Fibula, Patella, Adducter Tubercle, and the Tibial Tuberosity.
How do you differentiate medial and lateral condyle of femur bone without marker?
If you are viewing the entire bone, you can differentiate the medial and lateral condyles by noting that the medial condyle is on the side with the head of the femur, and the lateral is on the side with the greater trochanter. If you have only the distal end of the femur available, then you can differentiate the condyles by noting that the medial condyle is longer and the lateral condyle is wider.

Is the spine medial or lateral?
The spine is a medial structure. It lies in the midline of the body.
Would the back of your knee be lateral or medial?
A structure on the inside of the knee will be medial compared to a structure on the outside. For example, the medial condyles of the knee are closer to the body's midline than the lateral condyles.
What landmarks would you use to measure a femur and tibia?
The femur extends from the hip to the patella. So measure from your hip to the knee. The tibia extends from the patella to the ankle. So measure from the knee to the "ankle bone".
Is the bladder medial or lateral to the body?
The bladder is a medial structure. It's found in the midline of the body.
How do you tell whether something is medial or lateral?
A medial structure is closer to the midline of the body or lies in the midline of the body. A lateral structure is on the sides of the body, or closer to the sides than some other structure to which it's being compared.
Which body plane creates the directional terms medial and lateral?
The terms medial and lateral are evaluated along the coronal plane. When drawing an imaginary line to evaluate a structure's position in terms of medial and lateral, the line drawn is parallel to the sagittal plane.
Has a convex lateral surface called greater curvature and a concave medial surface called lesser curvature?
The stomach has a greater and lesser curvature. The greater curvature is the more lateral of the two.
Is the nose lateral to the scapula?
The humerus is lateral to the sternum. The sternum, or breastbone, is midline.
Are the thoracic vertebrae medial or lateral to the scapula?
You can describe them as medial to the scapula.
Does the left lung lie lateral to the heart?
Medial basically refers to being in the middle. Lateral basically refers to on or at the sides. The lungs are located on either side of the heart, so they are lateral to the heart.
