What is the largest bone in the leg and the longest bone in the body?
The femur is the largest bone in the leg and the longest bone in the body.
Cup shaped depression on the hip joint that receives the head of the femur?
The cup-shaped depression on the hip joint that receives the head of the femur is called the acetabulum. It forms part of the hip bone structure known as the pelvis and allows for the articulation and movement of the femur within the hip joint. The acetabulum provides stability and support for the hip joint during weight-bearing activities.
Were is the femur in the human body?
The femur, or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the body) bone of the leg in vertebrates capable of walking or jumping.
Which joint is the fumer bone part of?
The Femur is part of both the hip and knee joints.
Hip socket is known as the?
The acetabulum is a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of the femur meets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint
What is the acetabulofemoral?
* deep socket in the coxal bone* formed where the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fuse* the head of the femur, the thigh bone, fits in the acetabulumAcetabulum is the area on the pelvis where the head of the femur joins the pelvis. It is a concave surface that allows for the forming of the hip joint which allows you kick your leg up.The hip has these two bowl shaped regions into which the upper femur fits. This is the hip joint. That bowl shaped region is called the acetabulum.
With what part of the hip bone does The head of the femur articulate?
The head of the femur articulates with the os coxa (pelvis) at the acetabulum. The acetabulum is the rounded socket that the head of the femur fits into. It also allows sliding of the pelvic bones and rotation. This joint is a synovial joint and is an example of a "ball-and-socket" joint.
What forms a joint with the hip bone?
The part of the hip bone that forms the hip joint is actually formed from two of the three fused paired bones - the ischium and the ilium, which are shaped into the acetabulum. The distal articulating bone is the femur, specifically the head of the femur.Femur & coxarum form the hip joint.The hip bone, also called the pelvis, is made of three fused pairs of bones: the ilium, the ischium and the pubis. The pelvis has a socket called the acetabulum, where the head of the femur bone fits in - this is the hip joint.
Joint between axail skeleton and pelvic girdle?
The joint between the axial skeleton (specifically the sacrum) and the pelvic girdle is called the sacroiliac joint. This joint connects the spine to the hip bones and is important for weight-bearing and transferring forces between the upper body and lower body. The sacroiliac joint is a synovial joint with limited mobility, providing stability to the pelvis during activities such as walking and standing.
What bone is distal to the femur?
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
The femur bone is in which part of the body?
The femur bone is located in the thigh. It is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, connecting the hip joint to the knee joint.
What is the function of acetabulum?
The acetabulum is a concave surface on the pelvis. It is located where where the femur, or the thigh bone, and the pelvis meet, forming the hip joint. Since the acetabulum is a crucial part of the hip joint, its function is self-explanatory in that it supports the joint itself.
