A bone that has two large trochanters on its proximal end?

The bone you are referring to is likely the femur, which is the thigh bone. The two large trochanters on the proximal end of the femur are the greater and lesser trochanters, which serve as attachment points for muscles that move the hip joint.


A large rough projection of a bone found only on the femur is a?

the greater trochanter


The two large processes of the proximal femur are the greater and lesser?

greater trochanter and lesser trochanter


Is the femur distal to the tarsals?

Yes, the femur is proximal to the tarsals. The femur is the long bone in the thigh, which is closer to the trunk of the body, while the tarsals are the bones in the foot, which are distal to the femur.


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.


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.


Is proximal end of femur is near pelvis?

Yes, "proximal" anatomically generally refers to the end nearest the center of the body, with "distal" referring to the end furthest away from the main body. The femur is the large leg bone that extends from the hip to the knee, thereby placing the proximal end near the pelvis, and the distal end at the knee joint.


What are Trochanters?

Trochanters are large, bony protrusions found on the femur bone in the thigh. There are two trochanters - the greater trochanter, which is located on the side of the femur, and the lesser trochanter, which is located on the back of the femur. The trochanters serve as attachment points for muscles that move the hip and thigh.


What is the bony process on the femur?

The femur is the long bone of the leg. The two large processes of the proximal femur are the greater and lesser trochanter.


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 are major features of the proximal portion of femur?

The four major features of the proximal end are the head, neck, greater trochanter, and lesser trochanter


Is the femoral region proximal to the plantar region?

No, the femur is closer to the head than tarsals
