Which organ is directly linked to femur bone?
There is no organ linked to the femur bone for there is only muscles linked to the femur, the answer has come from a very good doctor.
The 3 main leg muscles in a leg?
The three main leg muscles in a leg are fibula, tibia also called the shinbone and the femur also called the thighbone. The three muscles are collectively referred to as triceps coxae.
Which two body systems does the femur belong to?
The Femur belongs to the skelital and the circulatory system because new red blood cells are formed in the marrow of the femur.
Articulates with the coxal bone?
The femur :)
Is the femur weight bearing?
The fibula does not bear weight, but several muscles originate from it. The fibula, is the thinner bone in the lower leg, not made for weight bearing, however the tibia is made for weight bearing, which is the larger bone in the lower leg.
Is the knee cap deep to the femur?
The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.
What do the muscles on the medial side of the femur do?
You and adductor compartment on the medial side of the femur. The main muscles are adductor magnus, adductor longus and adductor brevis. These muscles adduct the thigh. They are very important muscles for horse rider.
Which organ is directly linked to femur bone?
There is no organ linked to the femur bone for there is only muscles linked to the femur, the answer has come from a very good doctor.
What muscles extends the femur at the hip?
gluteus maximus
Where do most muscles that move the thigh originate at?
well there are many muscles that can move the femur in one way or another. 1 of the quadriceps can move the femur (rectus femoris) which attaches to the front of the ilium. All 3 hamstring muscles can move the femur backwards and all attach to the ischial tuberosity. The adductor muscles can move the thigh and all 3 attach to the pubis.
Which muscle of the medial compartment of the thigh does not insert onto the linea aspera of the femur?
Rectus femoris
What bones serve as the insertion for all muscles that act as prime movers of the thigh?
femur
Where does the piriformis muscle originate an insert?
The piriformis originates at the anterior sacrum and inserts at the greater trochanter of the femur.
How are muscles and bones physiologically linked?
Muscles insert into bones via tendons.
What is the difference between a female femur from a male?
The neck of the femur forms a shallower angle with the long axis of the femur bone in a female. Forensic anthropologists have found differences in the measurements of the transverse width and length of the head of the femur between the sexes, and have posulated this application in identifying sex of dismembered murder victims; however, there are significant differences between races also. The femur bone has many raised rough portions, and protubernces for the attachment of muscles, these are usually larger in males due to the greater pull of the attached muscles which are larger.
The 3 main leg muscles in a leg?
The three main leg muscles in a leg are fibula, tibia also called the shinbone and the femur also called the thighbone. The three muscles are collectively referred to as triceps coxae.
Do the hamstring muscles lie posterior to the femur?
Yes. Hamstring group include the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and the semimembranosus.
