Thatâs bad news for heavy abusers seeking to cut back or quit. Reduced dopamine levels usually cause depression. So itâs no surprise many people who cut back or quit report depression. As far as marijuana withdrawal symptoms go, this is probably the one that causes most people to fail.
Your thighbone (femur) is the longest and strongest bone in your body. Because the femur is so strong, it usually takes a lot of force to break it. Car crashes, for example, are the number one cause of femur fractures. The long, straight part of the femur is called the femoral shaft. When there is a break anywhere along this length of bone, it is called a femoral shaft fracture.
The femur is the bone of the upper leg. The proximal end of the femur connects to the hip joint. It is marked by a spherical ball, called the femoral head, that fits into the socket of the hip joint, the acetabulum. The head is connected to the shaft of the femur by an elongated segment of bone, called the femoral neck.Lateral to the neck, a large projection juts proximally off the top of the bone, called the greater trochanter.he head of the femur connects to the hip joint, so it is toward the middle of the body. Using anatomical terminology, itâs medial and proximal. The greater trochanter is on the lateral side of the bone, away from the middle of the body. The front side of the femur (called the anterior side) is fairly smooth.
