what do you mean particular??  I don't know what you are asking for

the femur is the largest, it is the thigh bone
the tibia and fibula make up the lower leg

I'll name the main bones for you:

- Skull
- Vertebral column (sections: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, saccrum and coccyx)
- Ribs X 12 (true, false and floating ribs)
- Sternum (made up of the manubrium, body and xiphoid process)
- Clavicle
- Scapula
- Humerus
- Radius
- Ulnar
- Pelvis (sections are: ilium, ischium and pubis)
- Femur
- Tibia
- Fibula
- Tarsles (ankle bones)
- Metatarsles
- Carples (wrist bones)
- Metacarples
- Phalanges (fingers and toes)
