femur- thigh bone
2006-09-24 11:21:20 · answer #1 · answered by kbit03 2 · 1⤊ 0⤋
The thigh bone (the femur) is the longest bone in the human body, equal to about 1/4th of your height. This was on a recent rerun of CSI.
(I like to go to kids sites for simple answers like this, for the non-scientific persons answer.)

The longest is the femur, also the heaviest single bone. Incidentally, it's where a fair majority of your red blood cell production occurs.

The longest single bone is the femur, the longest articulated bone is the back bone.

Sorry but I hate grammatical errors. It longest, not longist, and it's the femur, your thigh bone.
