What bones articulates with the inferior end of the femur?
The inferior end of the femur articulates with the tibia and patella. The femur forms the knee joint with the tibia and the patella acts as a protector and provides leverage for the quadriceps muscles.
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.
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.
Does the femur insert into the pelvic girdle at the patella?
No, the femur does not insert into the pelvic girdle at the patella. The femur connects to the pelvic girdle at the acetabulum, which is located in the hip bone. The patella, or kneecap, is a bone that sits in front of the knee joint and provides protection and leverage for the quadriceps muscle, but it is not involved in the connection between the femur and the pelvic girdle.
What muscles extends the femur at the hip?

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.

The greater trochanter is located on the?
The greater trochanter is located on the femur bone, specifically at the proximal end of the femur where the thigh bone meets the hip bone. It serves as a point of attachment for several muscles that move the hip joint.
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.
