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 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.
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?
stifle
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.
Where is the proximal tibia located?
The proximal tibia is the part of the larger of the lower leg bones located nearest the knee. The most proximal part of the tibia articulates with the femur.

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 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.
Which bone is found anterior to the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia?
The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.
Does the calcaneous articulate with the distal end of the tibia?
The distal tibia articulates with the talus. The proximal tibia articulates with the femur.
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?
stifle

Where is the proximal tibia located?
The proximal tibia is the part of the larger of the lower leg bones located nearest the knee. The most proximal part of the tibia articulates with the femur.
The stifle of a horse is the same as what part of the human?
The stifle of a horse is anatomically equivalent to the knee of a human - it is a hinge joint consisting of the distal femur, proximal tibia, proximal fibula and the patella (kneecap).
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.
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
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.
What are all the bones names in a cats rear legs?
Proximal to distal, the femur, the tibia, the patella, the fibula, the tarsal bones (ankle bones), the five metatarsals and the 12 phalanges.
