- aponeurosis, a flat tendon.  Muscle can attach directly to the periosteum of the bone through fusion between the epimysium and the surface of the bone, such as the attachment of the trapezius.  Muscle can attach via a tendon that is fused with the muscle fascia, such as in the hamstrings, biceps brachii, and flexor carpi radialis.  Last, muscle can attach to a bone via a sheath of fibrous tissue known as an aponeurosis seen in the abdominals and the trunk attachment of the latissimus dorsi.

Femur The femur is the only bone in the thigh. The two femurs converge medially toward the knees, where they articulate with the proximal ends of the tibiae.he upper or proximal extremity (close to the torso) contains the head, neck, the two trochanters and adjacent structures. The head of femur, which articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone, composes two-thirds of a sphere.

- The Femur. Ligaments, tendons, muscles, hyaline cartilage and synovial membranes connect the left hip bone, hip joint and the large upper leg bone, known as the femur. Hyaline cartilage serves as a shock absorber and prevents the bones from rubbing against one another.igaments that connect the hip bone to the hip joint and leg bone lie just below the left hip bone. The two major ligaments are the illiofemoral ligament and the pubofemoral ligament.

- Medial Condyle. 4. (Condylus medialis) - a medial expansion at the tibia's proximal end that is supported by the medial meniscus and articulates with the medial condyle of the femur. The semimembranosus muscle attaches to the back of the tibial condyle.Intercondylar Eminence.. (Tuberositas tibiae) - a raised, roughened area on the anterior surface of the bone just inferior to the condyles. This area is also called is the tuberosity of the tibia. It is an attachment point for the patellar ligament, which serves as the distal tendon of the quadriceps muscle group.

The femur is the only bone in the thigh. The two femurs converge medially toward the knees, where they articulate with the proximal ends of the tibiae. The angle of convergence of the femora is a major factor in determining the femoral-tibial angle.
