The femur is almost verticle and strong bone. It can bear the lot of weight. It is slightly convex anteriorly. That gives you added advantage in weight bearing. Convexity on anterior side, enable you to to tolerate the trauma from the front side in better way. There is an angle between the head neck portion and shaft of the femur. That shift the location of the femur away from the hip bone. This arrangement shifts the line of weight transmission towards side way. Then you have the ball and socket type of joint at the hip joint. That allows all types of movement across the joint. You have the knee joint to give you hinge joint. This allows for bending the knee more or less. Together with these features the femur is architectural marvel.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Which bone is the longest in the human skeleton Fibula Femur Tibia?
The femur.
What is gluteus maximus how size is that?
It is this size because it has to move the femur, the largest and longest bone in the body, with all your weight on it.
What part of your body helps you walk?
Your leg muscles, bones, and joints work together to help you walk. These include the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, and the bones of the lower limbs such as the femur, tibia, and fibula. Coordination between these parts allows for the complex movement of walking.
What side of the body is the femur?
Your femur is not located on just one side of the body; the femur is your thighbone.
How does the sartorius help move the femur?
they produce blood cells
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).
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.
What does the femur do in a cow?
The femur in a cow has the exact same purpose as it does for us humans: it provides support for a bovine to use to be able to move and stand on.
What are the functions of annular ligament in femur?
The annular ligaments are circular fibers that wrap around the joint capsule of the neck of the femur to help hold the head of the femur in the acetabulum.
What to do for a broken femur?
Seek professional medical help.
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 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.
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 are facts about the femur?
IdentificationThe femur is attached to the pelvis and knee cap, which makes it the longest bone in the body. The National Space Biomedical Research Institute states the average adult femur measures 20 inches and is more than 1 inch in width.StabilityThe femur connects to the pelvis socket, which creates the hip joint. This joint provides the entire body with stability, especially during moments of intense movement.Knee MovementThe front of the femur is shaped to support the patella, or kneecap. When a leg is extended, the grooves in the front of the femur allow the patella to safely move upward. When the knee is bent, the groove allows the patella to move downward. The movement of the patella supported by the femur enables efficiency of the leg muscles, according to Health Line.
What does femur mean?
The Femur is the bone that goes from your hip down to your knee. Femur length would mean how long the Femur is.
Which bone is the longest in the human skeleton Fibula Femur Tibia?
The femur.
