ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The thigh bone (femur) is a long bone. A long bone has a shaft and two ends. Some bones in the fingers are classified as long bones, even though they are short in length. This is due to the shape of the bones, not their size.

Detailed explanation-2: -Long bones are mostly located in the appendicular skeleton and include bones in the lower limbs (the tibia, fibula, femur, metatarsals, and phalanges) and bones in the upper limbs (the humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges).

Detailed explanation-3: -The femur is the only bone in your thigh. It runs from your hip to your knee.

Detailed explanation-4: -The long bone category includes the femora, tibiae, and fibulae of the legs; the humeri, radii, and ulnae of the arms; metacarpals and metatarsals of the hands and feet, the phalanges of the fingers and toes, and the clavicles or collar bones.

Detailed explanation-5: -The femur is the large bone in the upper leg also known as the thigh bone. It is the longest bone in the body. The head (top) of the femur articulates or connects with the pelvic bone forming the hip joint, while the distal (bottom) part of the femur articulates with the tibia and kneecap forming the knee joint.
