Question

HELP WITH TEST QUESTION - The distal end of the longest bone in the human body (femur) is called...

ANSWERS -
A - dependent on the position of the leg
B - furthest from the body
C - closest to the body
D - not applicable to the femur

Answer 1

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The femur is the bone of the upper leg. The proximal end of the femur connects to the hip joint. It is marked by a spherical ball, called the femoral head, that fits into the socket of the hip joint, the acetabulum. It is marked by two large articular processes, called condyles, which sit on top of the tibia. The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum in the pelvic bone forming the hip joint, while the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and kneecap, forming the knee joint. By most measures the two (left and right) femurs are the strongest bones of the body, and in humans, the longest.

Answer 2

the question is asking what its called but the choices dont make sense but i belive it is A

the femoral head

It is marked by two large articular processes, called condyles, which sit on top of the tibia

Step-by-step explanation:

The distal end of the femur is made up of the medial and lateral condyles, the intercondylar fossa, and the patellar surface. Complete your understanding of the interaction between the femur, tibia, and patella by learning more about the latter two bones using the following resource!The distal end of the body of the femur widens significantly above the knee to form the rounded, smooth medial and lateral condyles. The medial and lateral condyles of the femur meet with the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia to form the articular surfaces of the knee joint.
