With what part of the hip bone does The head of the femur articulate?
The head of the femur articulates with the os coxa (pelvis) at the acetabulum. The acetabulum is the rounded socket that the head of the femur fits into. It also allows sliding of the pelvic bones and rotation. This joint is a synovial joint and is an example of a "ball-and-socket" joint.
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.
What is the acetabulofemoral?
* deep socket in the coxal bone* formed where the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fuse* the head of the femur, the thigh bone, fits in the acetabulumAcetabulum is the area on the pelvis where the head of the femur joins the pelvis. It is a concave surface that allows for the forming of the hip joint which allows you kick your leg up.The hip has these two bowl shaped regions into which the upper femur fits. This is the hip joint. That bowl shaped region is called the acetabulum.
Which joint allows for multiaxial movement?
Ball-and-Socket Joints. Smooth, hemispherical head fits within a cuplike socket. Only mutiaxial joints in the body are the shoulder joint - head of humerus into glenoid cavity of scapula and the hip joint - head of femur into acetabulum of hip bone.
What is the socket where the thigh bone joins the pelvis?
The hip joint if formed by the head of the femur and the acetabulum, which is a "cup" or concave structure integral to the pelvis. Below you'll find links to the related Wikipedia post where you can find more information and pictures.

What is the cup like depression of the coxal bones into which the head of the femur fits?
It is called acetabulum. Acetabulum articulates with round head of femur bone.
Fits between the femur and tibia?
Patella

What attaches to the acetabulum?
Femur (thigh bone) fits into acetabulum.

Where are the femurs in the body?
Your femur, or thighbone, is the largest bone in your body. We have 2 femur, 1 each leg. The head of your femur fits into your hip socket and the bottom end connects to your knee.
Which joint allows for multiaxial movement?
Ball-and-Socket Joints. Smooth, hemispherical head fits within a cuplike socket. Only mutiaxial joints in the body are the shoulder joint - head of humerus into glenoid cavity of scapula and the hip joint - head of femur into acetabulum of hip bone.
What was the musical show about the Great Depression?
I believe it was Annie. That's what fits.
What are the modification of insect legs?
Modification of insect legs in the morphological terms means changes according to the function required.For example:Insects have ambulatory legs having the most simple type of five major segments (coxa, trochanter, femur tibia and tarsus) for the most simple function i.e walking. Many other insects also have adapted their leg to perform other functions like cursorial for running present in cockroaches, raptorial for grasping prey these are prolegs of preying mantids have coxa very long and two rows of large spines on femur and tibia both, the femur have a groove between two spine rows in which tibia fits ,and natatorial meta legs of giant water bug have long hair on tarsus that help in swimming.M.

Is it true or false that the head of the femur forms about two thirds of a sphere?
True. The head of the femur, also known as the femoral head, is approximately two-thirds of a sphere in shape. This round structure fits into the acetabulum of the pelvis, forming the ball-and-socket joint known as the hip joint.

The hip joint if formed by the head of the femur and the acetabulum, which is a "cup" or concave structure integral to the pelvis. Below you'll find links to the related Wikipedia post where you can find more information and pictures.
