What else can I help you with?
What extends femur and rotates it?
The hip abductor muscles, particularly the gluteus medius and minimus, help to extend and rotate the femur. These muscles act to stabilize the hip joint and assist in movements such as walking, running, and side-to-side motions. Strengthening these muscles can improve hip function and help prevent injury.
What bones have trochanters?
The femur bone has trochanters. The greater trochanter is located at the top of the femur where the hip muscles attach, and the lesser trochanter is located on the inner side of the femur where the thigh muscles attach.
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 landmarks would you use to measure a femur and tibia?
The femur extends from the hip to the patella. So measure from your hip to the knee. The tibia extends from the patella to the ankle. So measure from the knee to the "ankle bone".
What bone is found on top of the femur?
The hip bone, specifically the ilium, is found on top of the femur in the human body. It forms part of the pelvis and provides a stable base for the attachment of muscles that move the thigh.
What is the name of upper part of the leg?
The upper part of the leg is called the thigh. It extends from the hip to the knee and contains large muscles such as the quadriceps and hamstrings.
Which is the longest bone in the human body?
The Femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body.
What part of the does the gluteus maximus help move?
The gluteus maximus extends the at hip at thigh (as in walking or climbing stairs). It inserts on the femur (the insertion).
What is the largest bone of your body it starts with the letter b?
The femur bone is the largest bone in the human body. It extends from the hip to the knee.
Which is the longest bone in the human skeleton?
The largest bone in the human skeleton is the femur. The femur is the bone that is located in the thigh and runs from the hip to the knee.
What is the name of the longest bone in you body?
The largest bone in your body is the Femur
What quadriceps muscles are attached to?
Quadriceps muscles are attached to the tibia via patella. Patella is a sesamoid bone. On the other the three of the four muscles are attached to the femur bone. Rectus femoris is attached to the hip bone as well. So it can act on hip bone also. Other way round it can take support of hip bone to act on tibia. Other three muscles are specially designed to act on tibia bone only. They are originated from femur bone.
