<u>Answer</u>:

Femur diaphysis and epiphyseal ends is made up with cortical bone and contains bone narrow. It is in the middle tabular part and composed with compact bone and central marrow cavity is situated around it. It is round in shape and a long bone. It is the origin of the attachment of many muscles as well as ligament.

The femur is the longest bone which is present in our thigh and also call as thigh bone. The division of femur can be divided into shaft, proximal and distal. In some aspect it is the strongest bone of our body and it helps in any activities.
