Verified step by step guidance

Identify the location and function of the femur: The femur is the thigh bone, the longest and strongest bone in the human body, located in the upper leg.

Understand the concept of articulation: Articulation refers to the connection between bones that allows for movement. In this context, it means which bones connect with the femur to form joints.

Consider the anatomical position of the femur: The femur is part of the lower limb, so it will articulate with bones that are also part of the lower limb or directly connected to it.

Review the bones listed in the options: The humerus and ulna, and the radius and ulna are part of the upper limb, while the scapula and clavicle are part of the shoulder girdle. These do not connect with the femur.

Identify the correct bones: The tibia is the main bone of the lower leg that forms the knee joint with the femur, and the patella (kneecap) is a small bone that sits in front of the knee joint, articulating with the femur.
