Detailed explanation-2: -The tibia is categorized as a long bone and is as such composed of a diaphysis and two epiphyses.
Detailed explanation-3: -It comprises two bones: the tibia and the fibula. The role of these two bones is to provide stability and support to the rest of the body, and through articulations with the femur and foot/ankle and the muscles attached to these bones, provide mobility and the ability to ambulate in an upright position.
