Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The head of the femur is the ball-shaped part that fits into the socket of the acetabulum in the pelvic bone, forming the hip joint. The greater trochanter is a bony prominence on the femur that serves as an attachment site for muscles, but does not articulate with any other bones. The neck of the femur connects the head to the shaft and is not directly involved in the hip joint. The condyles are the rounded bony projections at the bottom of the femur that articulate with the tibia and fibula in the knee joint.
