Hip

In human anatomy, the femur is the largest bone of the lower extremities, located between the pelvis and the knee. Most people call this part of the body legs. Hips can be natural or implanted. In each individual case, the structure, device, and functions of this element will be different.

In Latin, "thes" is an adjective meaning the verb "to run." Accordingly, the word femoral is translated as “thigh”. The word "femur" came into use in the 19th century and was usually applied to bone and later to muscle. Meanwhile, in the 11th century, the thigh received a different designation - “thes”. This term is used only after the use of the particle "isomia".

Thigh is also called thesis in Latin. This word was first mentioned in the text “Anatomy” of Hippocrates. According to his definition, the thesis is a bone that is shaped like the letter Y and surrounded by three different muscles. The ligaments from the patellar muscle pass through them. It is this that is the source of force for moving the thigh bones apart relative to each other. One part of it goes to the kneecap, which allows you to make flexion movements in the joint. A description of the structure of the femur bone will help you get to know the hip joint better.

Let's figure out what it consists of and what elements belong to this zone. There are two holes on the sides. They are called acetabular and are located inside the anterior peduncle. Also in this part there are pas and pits. It is called the jugular. The opening above the condyles of the pelvis is known as the jugular tubercle or apex of the femur. The element ends with an expanded lower end. At this place is the body of the femur, which is tubular. In total, the thigh contains two musculoskeletal zones. The first, conditional, is called the anatomical socket. The second, real one is the acetabulum. It borders the anterior section. Both of these parts are located in the pelvis. The place they occupy is also occupied by the top of the surface. The pelvic floor is represented by the superior and anterior branches of the ilium. The apex of the organ is located on the inner concave surface of the pelvis. From it go down and in front of the pas on the left and right sides of the hip joint. Moving into a straight line, they pass into the pterygofemoral surface.
