femur

thigh bone

the bulb

most superior protrusion

linea aspera

“rough line”

along the shaft of the femur

on the posterior side

inferior to gluteal tuberosity

neck

connects the head to the shaft

patellar surface/notch

where the knee is

greater trochanter

lesser trochanter

small bump inferior to the greater trochanter

same side as the head

lateral condyle

bump

on the distal end
