What is the biggest bone in the human body?

Question

Bones in the human body.

Answer 1

FEMUR{THIGH BONE}
SMALLEST IS STAPES{EAR BONE}

Answer 2

The femur or thigh bone is the longest, most voluminous, and strongest bone of the human body. It forms part of the hip and part of the knee.

The word "femur" is Latin for "thigh". In medical Latin its genitive is always femoris, but in classical Latin its genitive is often feminis, and should not be confused with case forms of femina = "woman."

Features
The femur consists of a head and a neck proximally, a diaphysis (or shaft), and two condyles (medial and lateral) distally.

Proximal end
The femur's head forms a ball-and-socket joint at the hip.

Other proximal features of the bone include the greater trochanter and the lesser trochanter, two bony projections that allow muscles to attach.

Posteriorly the gluteal tuberosity is a rough surface that gluteus maximus attaches to. Beneath this, the linea aspera runs down the back of the femur, which also provides an attachment for the biceps femoris muscle.

Distal end

Distal end of the femurThe condyles at the knee form a condylar joint.

The medial and lateral condyles on the distal end, are bumps that fit into corresponding articular facets on the tibia. The gap between the two condyles is called the intercondylar fossa (or notch). Above the femoral condyles are the medial and lateral epicondyles, above the medial epicondyle is the adductor tubercle.

Fractures
Femur fractures are liable to cause permanent disability because the thigh muscles pull the fragments so they overlap, and the fragments re-unite wrongly. To avoid this, femur fracture patients should be put into traction to keep the fragments pulled into proper alignment.

Hip fracture:
If bone is weakened, the proximal end of the femur near the hip joint is prone to fragility fracture. Most at risk are caucasian, post-menopausal women, and osteoporosis severely increases this risk.

Answer 3

Thigh bone: The thigh bone in anatomy is called the "femur." Whichever term you care to use -- thigh bone or femur, it is the bone in the leg that extends from the hip to the knee. The thigh bone/femur constitutes the upper leg, that part of the leg above the knee. As compared to the lower leg which boasts two bones (the tibia and the fibula), the upper leg has only one bone, the femur, but a very large bone it is, the largest in the human body. The word "femur" is the Latin word for thigh.
