A

head

25
Q

Ridge connecting trochantors on anterior side (of femur)

A

intertrochanteric line

26
Q

Large ridge along length of femur on posterior side; site of insertion for many muscles of thigh

Q

A bump located superior to the medial epicondyle (femur)

A

adductor tubercle

28
Q

Why can the patella appear as bipartite or tripartite on x-rays?
