  of the femur
• the more posterior and more distinct depression
• for attachment of the obturator externus muscle

Answer 17

Trochanteric Fossa

Question 18

• on the medial surface of the greater trochanter just anterior to the trochanteric fossa; sometimes very ill-defined

• ends at the adductor tubercle

Answer 24

Medial Supracondylar Line

Question 25

• ends at the lateral epicondyle

Answer 29

Lateral Supracondylar Line

Question 30

• the posterior inferior surface of the shaft of the femur

Answer 30

Popliteal Surface

Question 31

• hole directed superiorly, because it angles away from the more rapidly
  50
  growing end of the bone
• usually near the midpoint of the femur and between the medial and lateral
  lips of the linea aspera
• may be two: in which case one is more proximal and one more distal
• allows passage of vessels to nourish the shaft of the bone

Answer 31

Nutrient Foramen

Question 32

• the large depression between the medial and lateral condyles
• provides attachment for the cruciate ligaments

Answer 32
