The femur bones of human body are also known as ______.

   The correct answer is Thigh Bones.

Key Points

• The femur bones of the human body are also called thigh bones.
  • The femur is the only bone located within the human thigh.
  • It is the longest and the strongest bone in the human body.
  • 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.

Additional Information

• Wrist Bone :
  • Your wrist is made up of eight small bones (carpal bones) plus two long bones in your forearm:
    • the radius
    • the ulna 
  • The most commonly injured carpal bone is the scaphoid bone, located near the base of your thumb.
  • The wrist is a complex joint that bridges the hand to the forearm.
  • The bones comprising the wrist include the distal ends of the radius and ulna, 8 carpal bones, and the proximal portions of the 5 metacarpal bones.
  • The trapezoid bone is the smallest bone in the distal row of carpal bones that give structure to the palm of the hand.
• Shoulder Bone :
  • The shoulder is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body.
  • The shoulder joint is formed where the humerus (upper arm bone) fits into the scapula (shoulder blade), like a ball and socket.
  • The shoulder is made up of three bones:
    • the scapula (shoulder blade), clavicle (collarbone), and humerus (upper arm bone).
  • Two joints in the shoulder allow it to move:
    • the acromioclavicular joint, where the highest point of the scapula (acromion) meets the clavicle, and the glenohumeral joint.
  • The humerus fits relatively loosely into the shoulder joint.
  • This gives the shoulder a wide range of motion but also makes it vulnerable to injury.
  • Four joints are present in the shoulder:
    • the sternoclavicular (SC), acromioclavicular (AC), and scapulothoracic joints, and glenohumeral joint.
• Coller Bone :
  • The collarbone (clavicle) is a long slender bone that connects your arms to your body.
  • It runs horizontally between the top of your breastbone (sternum) and shoulder blades (scapula).
  • The beauty bone is mostly just another name for your collarbone or clavicle, in women.
  • It is the bone located above the ribs in the chest.
  • Like the ribs, the clavicle is attached to the sternum, sometimes also known as the breast bone, on its medial end.
  • There are two clavicles, one on the left and one on the right.
  • The clavicle is the only long bone in the body that lies horizontally.
