Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The patella (B) can be palpated on the anterior side of the thigh, as can the greater trochanter (A) and the tibial tuberosity (D). The popliteal fossa (C) is located on the posterior side of the thigh, while the head of the fibula (E) is located on the lateral side. The lateral and medial condyles of the femur (F) are located on the distal end of the femur, not on the anterior side of the thigh. Therefore, choices A, C, D, and E are incorrect.
