Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomical location of the femur: The femur is the thigh bone, and its distal end is the part closest to the knee joint. The proximal end is closer to the hip joint.

Identify the structures listed in the options: Medial condyle, Greater trochanter, Lesser trochanter, and Femoral head. Each of these terms refers to specific anatomical features of the femur.

Recall the function of the medial condyle: The medial condyle is located at the distal end of the femur and articulates with the tibia to form part of the knee joint. This is a key feature of the femur's role in the knee joint.

Differentiate the other options: The Greater trochanter and Lesser trochanter are located at the proximal end of the femur and serve as attachment points for muscles. The Femoral head is also at the proximal end and articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis to form the hip joint.

Conclude that the correct anatomical term for the distal end of the femur that articulates with the tibia to form part of the knee joint is the Medial condyle.
