Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the thigh as an anatomical region, relay structure, function and common injuries in general terms, describe the culinary sense, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.

The segment of the lower limb between the hip and the knee, containing the femur, the largest bone, and the quadriceps, hamstring and adductor muscle groups, major vessels and nerves, in humans and other vertebrates, and in cookery the thigh cuts of poultry and pork such as chicken thigh, capon leg and drumette; the thigh is a common site of injury in sport, of fractures in older people and of intramuscular injections.

What it is for: Supporting and moving the body; a cut of meat in cookery.

It can be explain anatomy and function; relay common injuries; describe culinary cuts; route personal questions.

Distinguishing features

Largest bone and muscles

Hip and knee movement

Injection and injury site

Culinary sense

What it looks like

The upper leg between hip and knee.

Physical character

femur length: about 45-50 cm - adult

femur share of height: about 26 percent

How it is recognised

Upper segment of the leg

Femur, quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors; poultry and pork thigh cuts

The hip is the joint above; the lower leg lies below the knee; the drumstick is the lower leg of a bird

What the second pass must settle

  • Should femur and hamstring be the primary linked entries?
  • How should clinical guidelines be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases naming culinary cuts; should they be split off?
