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.


Articulates with the coxal bone?

The femur articulates with the coxal bone at the hip joint. This joint is a ball-and-socket joint, allowing for a wide range of movement in the hip. The femur head fits into the acetabulum of the coxal bone.


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.


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.

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.

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.

What was the musical show about the Great Depression?

I believe it was Annie. That's what fits.


Is it true or false that the head of the femur forms about two thirds of a sphere?

It is true that the head of the femur in humans forms approximately 2/3 of a sphere - the remainder of the surface is the neck of the femur, a relatively narrow column of bone that connects the head to the diaphysis of the bone.

What concave socket exists on the lateral surface of each hip bone?

it is called the acetabulum (sp?) This is where the top (ball) of the femur fits into the socket (acetabulum) of the hip ... called a ball and socket joint
