Thigh
In human anatomy, the thigh is the area between the hip (pelvis ) and the knee . Anatomically , it is part of the human leg.
The single bone in the thigh is called the femur . This bone is very thick and strong (due to the high proportion of bone tissue), and forms a ball and socket joint at the hip , and a modified hinge joint at the knee.
