| The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the entire human body. All of the bodyââ¬â¢s weight is supported by the femurs during many activities, such as running, jumping, walking, and standing. Extreme forces also act upon the femur thanks to the strength of the muscles of the hip and thigh that act on the femur to move the leg. The femur is classified structurally as a long bone and is a major component of the appendicular skeleton |
