What are Trochanters?
A large projection of bone found on the femur.
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 the femur distal to the tarsals?
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
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 bony landmark is located proximal medial portion of the thigh?
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.

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

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.
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 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 is the proximal skeleton?
The term proximal is used to describe where the appendage joins the body. So in humans this would be the femur and the humerus.
The bones are proximal to the skin?
Proximal means "closer to the trunk of the body than" and is usually meant on a limb, for example the femur is proximal to tibia. The bones are deep to the skin.
