Difference between Femur and Greater trochanter

Femur vs. Greater trochanter

The femur (pl. femurs or femora) or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the hip joint) bone of the leg in tetrapod vertebrates capable of walking or jumping, such as most land mammals, birds, many reptiles including lizards, and amphibians such as frogs. The greater trochanter (great trochanter) of the femur is a large, irregular, quadrilateral eminence and a part of the skeletal system.

Similarities between Femur and Greater trochanter

Femur and Greater trochanter have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Epiphysis, External obturator muscle, Gluteus maximus, Gluteus medius, Gluteus minimus, Inferior gemellus muscle, Internal obturator muscle, Piriformis muscle, Superior gemellus muscle, Third trochanter, Trochanteric fossa, Vastus lateralis muscle.

Epiphysis

The epiphysis is the rounded end of a long bone, at its joint with adjacent bone(s).

External obturator muscle

The external obturator muscle, obturator externus muscle (OE) is a flat, triangular muscle, which covers the outer surface of the anterior wall of the pelvis.

Gluteus maximus

The gluteus maximus (also known collectively with the gluteus medius and minimus, as the gluteal muscles, and sometimes referred to informally as the "glutes") is the main extensor muscle of the hip.

Gluteus medius

The gluteus medius one of the three gluteal muscles, is a broad, thick, radiating muscle, situated on the outer surface of the pelvis.

Gluteus minimus

The gluteus minimus (or glutæus minimus), the smallest of the three gluteal muscles, is situated immediately beneath the gluteus medius.

Internal obturator muscle

The internal obturator muscle or obturator internus muscle originates on the medial surface of the obturator membrane, the ischium near the membrane, and the rim of the pubis.

Trochanteric fossa

In mammals including humans, the medial surface of the greater trochanter has at its base a deep depression bounded posteriorly by the intertrochanteric crest, called the trochanteric fossa.

Vastus lateralis muscle

The vastus lateralis, also called the vastus externus is the largest and most powerful part of the quadriceps femoris, a muscle in the thigh.
