Explanation:

The head of the femur is the rounded top part of the thigh bone, which fits into the hip socket. "Proximal" means closer to the torso (the origin of the limb), which applies here as it's the upper end of the femur. "Medial" means toward the midline of the body, and the femur head sits toward the body's midline to articulate with the hip bone.
