femur

• advantage for bipedal locomotion

  large head that fits into acetabulum to create carrying angle

  relatively longer- increase length of stride and lowers centre of gravity

  legs longer compared to arms- increased stability
• advantage of longer legs compared to arms

  increases stability
• how is carrying angle created

  large head fits into acetabulum
• How does femur length have an effect

  Longer

  • increases stride length and lowers centre of gravity
