linea aspera

lesser trochanter

navicular
the talus articulates with a bone called the ____.
head
Femur's proximal epiphysis features the spherical ____, which articulates with the acetabulum to form the hip joint
medial malleolus
Near the distal epiphysis, the anterior crest curves to the medial side, where it terminates in the _____.
head of fibula
____ articulates with the tibia again at the distal tibiofibular joint. Distally, it articulats with the tibia again at the distal tibiofibular joint, after which it expands to form the lateral malleolus
tibial tuberosity
____ is where the patellar ligament attaches to the tibia.
lateral condyles tibia
articulate with the femoral condyles to form the knee joint
neck
distal to the head we find the ___.
talus
forms the ankle joint with the tibia and fibula.
intercondylar fossa

medial condyles
From the epicondyles, the femur tapers into the _____ and lateral condyle, which articulate with the tibia to form the knee joint.
lateral condyles femur

anterior crest
The tibial diaphysis features a sharp ridge on its anterior side called the _____, commonly known as the shin.
