“A cockroach leg is made up of a number of distinct segments, arranged along the proximo-distal axis in the order coxa, femur, tibia, tarsus.”

“In addition to the pretarsus, tarsus, tibia and femur, insects have two proximal segments not shown in the figure.”

“One of the Americans found a few leg bones and freaked out so they told him it was a buffalo, but I could see it was a human femur and tibia.”

“The only bones that now survive from the excavation are four femora that were recovered from the south-eastern burial chamber.”

“Severe injuries, involving the loss of tibiae, femora, and entire legs were rare but did occur in four exclusive and six nonexclusive pairs.”

“There remain the frons the post-ocular patch, the pronotum, the hind femora and the abdominal tergites.”

“It had already metastasized to his spinal column and his bony pelvis, femurs, skull, and tibia.”

“Briefly, the femurs were cut in half at the middle of diaphysis and the proximal halves were discarded.”

“At the end of the treatment period, the bone volume and density of the femurs were measured by Archimedes' principle.”
