The Femur

The Femur is the largest and strongest bone of the body. It needs to be strong as it carries a lot of force when we sprint, jump, land, etc. It also provides attachment points for some of the strongest muscles in the body. At the top it articulates with the Co-Coxals (Pelvis) and with the Tibia at the bottom.
