Which bones act as pulley in human body?
The patella (kneecap) acts as a pulley by changing the angle of the tendon of the quadriceps muscle as it passes over the knee joint, which increases the efficiency of the muscle in straightening the knee. The sesamoid bones, such as the patella, are specialized bones that develop within tendons, providing a smooth surface for the tendon to glide over, reducing friction and increasing mechanical advantage.
How uch do bones weigh?
It depends on the density of the bone, what size it is and which bone you are taliking about. a person's height can affect the weight of the whole skeleton where as, a femur will weight more than a patella. and a scapula will weigh less than a cranium. Just depends
Do gravity boots help knee pain?
I don't know, but if it did, I have some theories why it might help. Hanging upside down might... - Temporarily increase the gap in the knee, allowing better circulation and regeneration of cushioning cartilage. - Relax tense leg muscles that are causing the patella to mis-track - Promote some change in overall body realignment, resulting in a change of posture that results in different direction of loading on the knee - Lead to general relaxation (and light-headedness?), and a higher tolerance for pain - Add pain somewhere else, making you less aware of the knee pain :-) I'm not a medical professional though, so this is all speculation.

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.
