Endochondral longbone connecting the pelvic girdle with posterior zeugopodium.[VSAO]
Paired, elongate, cylindrical bones of endochondral origin that form the thighs, extending from the pelvic girdles to the knees.[AAO]
os femorale
mesomere 1 of pevlic appendage
femoral bone
os femoris
proximal metapterygial mesomere of pelvic appendage
os longissimum
proximal metapterygial mesomere of pelvic fin
Most anatomists now agree that the three proximal bones of the tetrapod limbs are homologous to the two or three proximal elements of the paired fin skeleton of other sarcopterygians, that is the humerus-femur, radius-tibia, and ulna-fibula.[well established][VHOG]
