What else can I help you with?
What is the large proximal projection on the femur?
Trochanter. A large, rough projection.trochanter
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 an attachment site for the temporalis?
The attachment site for the temporalis muscle is the coronoid process of the mandible. This muscle originates from the temporal fossa of the skull and inserts at the coronoid process, allowing it to participate in actions like elevating and retracting the mandible during activities such as chewing and speaking.
Which muscle of the medial compartment of the thigh does not insert onto the linea aspera of the femur?
The gracilis muscle of the medial compartment of the thigh does not insert onto the linea aspera of the femur. Instead, it inserts onto the pes anserinus, a common insertion site on the medial aspect of the proximal tibia.
What is the ridge of bony tissue proximal to the lateral condyle of the humerus?
The ridge of bony tissue proximal to the lateral condyle of the humerus is called the lateral supracondylar ridge. It serves as a point of attachment for various muscles and ligaments in the arm.
What is the tronchanter of the femur?
The trochanter of the femur is a bony prominence located on the upper part of the thigh bone. There are two trochanters: the greater trochanter, which is located laterally and serves as a site for muscle attachment, and the lesser trochanter, which is located medially and is involved in hip flexion.
What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?
The term that identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on is called the "insertion." This is typically the more movable attachment of the muscle, as opposed to the origin which is the less movable attachment site.
What is the site of the muscle attachment that is moved upon contraction?
Insertion
Do femurs have crests?
Its unclear what you mean by "crest". The human femur has over 25 named aspects referring to different areas, ridges, sides,etc. of the bone. Some of these are where the bone connects to another bone, others are places where muscles attach. The names are importent so doctors and scientists can talk about all these parts of the bone and know what one another is referring to. For example, if a doctor says, "there is a fracture of the medial epicondyle of the patient's femur," other doctors can know what he's talking about. One named aspect of the femur is the intertrocanteric crest which bridges the greater and lesser trochanters on the proximal posterior side of the femur and acts as the attachment site for the quadratus femoris muscle.
An attachment site for a muscle that closes the anal opening is the primary purpose of?
coccyx
The small bony prominence immediately proximal the medial femoral conyle is called the tubercl?
The small bony prominence immediately proximal to the medial femoral condyle is called the adductor tubercle. It serves as an attachment site for the adductor magnus muscle, which plays a role in hip adduction and thigh flexion. Overuse or injury to this area may lead to symptoms such as pain and inflammation.
What are the proximal end landmarks of the tibia?
The primary proximal end landmarks of the tibia are the lateral and medial condyles. These bumps at the top of the tibia are the site where the tibia articulates with the femur. Between the condyles is the intercondylar area, which is the place where the ligaments of the knee attach. The meniscus attaches in the intercondylar area as well.
