The medial and lateral condyles, located on the femur and the tibia, form the knee joint. The medial condyle, which is closer to the center of the body, is larger.

The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?
stifle
What joint is found in the knee?
The knee actually has two joints. One is called the tibiofemoral joint and is between the thigh bone (femur) and the main shin bone (tibia). The other joint is formed by the thigh bone and the knee cap (patella) and is called the patellofemoral joint. The class of joints that these form are called synovial, or freely moving joints. The specific types are: tibiofemoral joint = hinge joint and the patellofemoral joint = gliding joint.
What are the two parallel bones form the skeleton of the leg?
There are two femur bones that are parallel. (One on each leg) They are the thigh bones. Then there are a tibia and fibula on each side. The tibia makes up the shin, and the fibula makes up the slender bone parallel and behind the tibia.
What is the function of the femur tibia and fibula?
i think its function is to connect your upper body to your lower body to join the both together The femur has tow functions in the human body. Is the only bone in the thigh and thus it must support all the weight of the body. It also forms an atachment sight for the muscles that act to move the thigh and the knee joint.
Is the knee joint a pivot joint?
No, knee joint is a compound joint (condyloid joint between tibia and femur and saddle joint between femur and patella).Yes, there is a pivot joint in the knee. Pivot joints can also be found in a person's neck, forearms, and other parts of the body. This is because the pivot joint moves by rotating.The knee is mainly a hinge joint not a pivot joint.
What are the bones that form your knee joint?
There are two. From the thigh, the distal femur interacts with the proximal tibia to form the bony structures of the knee. The patella is also present, but is not actually part of the knee joint. It acts as a lever to aid the quadriceps extend the knee in a more energy-efficient manner.
Articulates with the coxal bone to form the hip and the tibia to form the knee?
The Sacrum and the femur articulates with the Pelvis
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?
stifle
What job does the tibia do?
it connects with the femur to form a hinge joint, and it allows movement like, running, jumping, and other stuff

The specific types are: tibiofemoral joint = hinge joint and the patellofemoral joint = gliding joint.
What is the common name for tibiofemoral joint?
Both the femur and tibia are long bones that form a joint. The menisci or articular discs are structures that separate a joint cavity in to two compartments. They are found in the knee, jaw and sternoclavicular joints. It only partly divides a joint cavity and it can be torn in an action that puts pressure on the joint while the joint is turning.
What bones connect to the knee?
There is a knee cap, formally known as the patella, which is not a bone, and is not connected to any bones, it just floats over them as a form of protection. There is no knee bone. The knee is a joint, not a bone.
What are the four bones that form the ankle joint?
The four bones that form the ankle joint are the tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg that articulate with the talus, which sits on top of the calcaneus, or heel bone.
What do they mean when they say that the distal articulation of the tibia and fibula?
The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula means the place where the tibia and fibula form a joint at the end of the bones farthest from the origin of the limb. The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula is with the talus.
What are the two parallel bones form the skeleton of the leg?

The group of bones which support the legs are called the?
The group of bones that support the legs form part of the appendicular skeleton. These bones include the femur, tibia and fibula.

i think its function is to connect your upper body to your lower body to join the both together The femur has tow functions in the human body. Is the only bone in the thigh and thus it must support all the weight of the body. It also forms an atachment sight for the muscles that act to move the thigh and the knee joint.
