What is a system of mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
A system of mapping the round earth on a flat surface is called a map projection. Map projections are used to represent the Earth's curved surface on a two-dimensional map. Different map projections have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the purpose of the map.
What are small round projections in a bone?
tubercle ;)
What is the ligament that runs from the acetabulum of the pelvis to the fovea of the femur?
The ligament that runs from the acetabulum of the pelvis to the fovea of the femur is called the ligamentum teres or the round ligament of the femur. This ligament plays a role in stabilizing the hip joint and contains a small artery that supplies blood to the head of the femur in infants. In adults, its significance is less critical, as the primary blood supply comes from other sources.

The structure of femur include a ball-and-socket synovial joint. It is a round, cup-shaped structure on the hip bone known as the acetabulum.
Does the femur keep us balanced?
