What else can I help you with?
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 joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia where the patella overlaps is called the knee joint. It is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension of the 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?
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form the knee joint, also known as the stifle joint in animals.
Is the hock of a cat located at the proximal end of the tibia and the distal end of the femur?
Yes, the hock joint in a cat is located at the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The hock joint is often compared to the human ankle joint and is essential for their agility and movement.
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

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.

What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
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.
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 the bones of the lower extremity from proximal to distal?
The bones of the lower extremity, from proximal to distal, include the pelvis (which consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis), femur, patella, tibia, and fibula. The tibia and fibula are the two long bones of the lower leg, with the tibia being the larger and weight-bearing bone. Distally, the bones of the ankle include the talus and calcaneus, followed by the metatarsals and phalanges of the foot.
