A simplified cross-section of the proximal femur depicts osteoporotic bone, with enlarged trabecular spaces and thinned cortical shell. Within the hierarchy, cancellous (trabecular) bone tissue resides inside the femoral head and neck, components of the appendicular skeletal system at the hip region of the thigh. In anatomy and pathology/orthopedics, this illustrates reduced bone mineral density (BMD) leading to diminished load-bearing capacity and higher fracture risk. The entity shown is bone tissue (cortical and trabecular) whose normal function is mechanical support and force transmission across the hip joint.
