Answer 1

A structure found on the femur is the intercondylar fossa.

Explanation:

The intercondylar fossa is the notch or groove like structure like a depression present between the lateral and the medial femoral condyles.

The lower posterior end or surface of the femur bone constituted by the articular surfaces aids in articulation with the tibial surfaces and these surfaces are separated by the intercondylar notch.

It helps to align the thigh bone with the knee joint and maintains the knee joint stability.

Cartilaginous knee ligaments like the anterior cruciate ligament runs through this fossa.
