What is the thickest bone in the human body?!


Question:

What is the thickest bone in the human body?

I heard from someone that the bone in front of your brain (frontal bone) is the thickest bone in the body. But I would think I would be something more like the femur or pelvis? Is this true?


Answers:

It depends on where the measurement is made, but yes, the femur and many other bones are thicker than the various bones that comprise the skull.
