ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The femur is one of the most well-described bones of the human skeleton in fields ranging from clinical anatomy to forensic medicine. Because it is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, and thus, one of the most well-preserved in skeletal remains, it makes the greatest contribution to archaeology.

Detailed explanation-2: -The femur is the longest, strongest bone in your body. It plays an important role in how you stand, move and keep your balance.
