Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trochanter is a large, rough projection located on the femur where the hip and thigh muscles attach. When a weight lifter repeatedly exercises the muscles that attach to the trochanter, such as the gluteus maximus, the size of the projection may increase due to the development of the muscles. Fossae, foramina, and meatuses are all depressions or openings in bones and would not increase in size in response to muscle usage.
