Are your ears part of your face?

@davidnjoku Having had relatively extensive reconstructive surgery on my right leg after a car nearly killed me, I can answer this one! The answer is 'no', because medically-speaking your leg is only the bit from the knee down.
It makes slightly more sense if you think about animal legs and how they're articulated.
@denny From the knee down?! 🤯

@davidnjoku Apparently so!

@denny @davidnjoku
That only accounts for the “knee joint + tibia + fibula”. What about the “femur” thigh bone, isn’t that part of the leg? -
Is your bum part of your legs?
@davidnjoku answered yes.
Anatomically, your “bum” is 2 sets of major muscles attaching your “pelvis” hip bone to the upper part of your “femur” thigh bone. While it is not part of the skeleton, without it we would _not_ be able to walk/run/climb/etc. -

Is your bum part of your legs?
@davidnjoku legs are from the knees down. Knees up is torso. Bum is definitely not part of your legs.
My legs do not fart

*edit* daft stuff you learn playing D&D

@WiteWulf Your legs don't fart? Don't know if you've got kids, but if you do, I bet they'd say otherwise!

@davidnjoku just the one, and he’s never brought it up (so far

@davidnjoku
Anatomically it’s more part of the back, if my physio is right. -
Is your bum part of your legs?
@davidnjoku muscularly, several of the layers of muscles attach to the pelvis from the legs, so parts of your bum are also a part of your legs
