ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The femur is the single bone of the thigh. The patella is the kneecap and articulates with the distal femur. The tibia is the larger, weight-bearing bone located on the medial side of the leg, and the fibula is the thin bone of the lateral leg. The bones of the foot are divided into three groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lower leg is comprised of two bones, the tibia and the smaller fibula. The thigh bone, or femur, is the large upper leg bone that connects the lower leg bones (knee joint) to the pelvic bone (hip joint).

Detailed explanation-3: -the tibia, the larger and stronger of the two lower leg bones, which forms the inside part of the of the ankle. the fibula, the smaller bone of the lower leg, which forms the outside part of the ankle. the talus, a small bone between the tibia and fibula and the calcaneus, or heel bone.

Detailed explanation-4: -The femur or thighbone is the bone connecting the hip to the knee. The tibia or shinbone connects the knee to the ankle. The patella (kneecap) is the small bone in front of the knee and rides on the knee joint as the knee bends. The fibula is a shorter and thinner bone running parallel to the tibia on its outside.

Detailed explanation-5: -Long bone – has a long, thin shape. Short bone – has a squat, cubed shape. Flat bone – has a flattened, broad surface. Irregular bone – has a shape that does not conform to the above three types.
