Difference between Femur and Lower extremity of femur

Femur vs. Lower extremity of femur

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 lower extremity of femur (or distal extremity) is the lower end of the thigh bone in human and other animals, closer to the knee.

Similarities between Femur and Lower extremity of femur

Femur and Lower extremity of femur have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anterior cruciate ligament, Condyle (anatomy), Epicondyle, Gastrocnemius muscle, Intercondylar area, Intercondylar fossa of femur, Knee, Lateral condyle of femur, Lateral epicondyle of the femur, Medial condyle of tibia, Medial epicondyle of the femur, Plantaris muscle, Popliteus muscle, Posterior cruciate ligament, Tibia, Upper extremity of femur.

Anterior cruciate ligament

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of a pair of cruciate ligaments (the other being the posterior cruciate ligament) in the human knee.

Condyle (anatomy)

A condyle (or; condylus, from kondylos; κόνδυλος knuckle) is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint - an articulation with another bone.

Epicondyle

An epicondyle is a rounded eminence on a bone that lies upon a condyle (epi-, "upon" + condyle, from a root meaning "knuckle" or "rounded articular area").

Gastrocnemius muscle

The gastrocnemius muscle (plural gastrocnemii) is a superficial two-headed muscle that is in the back part of the lower leg of humans.

Intercondylar area

The intercondylar area is the separation between the medial and lateral condyle on the upper extremity of the tibia.

Intercondylar fossa of femur

The intercondylar fossa of femur (intercondyloid fossa of femur, intercondylar notch of femur) is a deep notch between the rear surfaces of the medial and lateral epicondyle of the femur, two protrusions on the distal end of the femur (thigh bone) that joins the knee.

Knee

The knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur and tibia (tibiofemoral joint), and one between the femur and patella (patellofemoral joint).

Lateral condyle of femur

The lateral condyle is one of the two projections on the lower extremity of the femur.

Lateral epicondyle of the femur

The lateral epicondyle of the femur, smaller and less prominent than the medial epicondyle, gives attachment to the fibular collateral ligament of the knee-joint.

Medial condyle of tibia

The medial condyle is the medial portion of the upper extremity of tibia.

Medial epicondyle of the femur

The medial epicondyle of the femur is a bony protrusion located on the medial side of the bone's distal end.

Plantaris muscle

The plantaris is one of the superficial muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg, one of the fascial compartments of the leg.

Popliteus muscle

The popliteus muscle in the leg is used for unlocking the knees when walking, by laterally rotating the femur on the tibia during the closed chain portion of the gait cycle (one with the foot in contact with the ground).

Posterior cruciate ligament

The posterior cruciate ligament (or PCL) is one of the four major ligaments of the knee.

Tibia

The tibia (plural tibiae or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia), and it connects the knee with the ankle bones.

Upper extremity of femur

The upper extremity, proximal extremity or superior epiphysis of the femur is the part of the femur closest to the pelvic bone and the trunk.
