Where would you find the femur, patella, tibia, and fibula?
A
in the feet
B
in the leg
C
in the arm
D
in the back
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The fibula is the smaller of the two bones in your lower leg. The other is the tibia. The fibula runs from just under your knee to your ankle. It’s closer to the outside of your body (lateral) than the tibia.

Detailed explanation-3: -The femur-the longest and hardest bone of the body-is also known as the thigh bone. The fibula and tibia are the two bones of the lower leg, below the kneecap.

Detailed explanation-4: -The femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shin bone) and the patella (kneecap). These three bones work together with a complex group of ligaments to form the knee joint. Fractures of the knee are very common and typically require surgical stabilization.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tibia and fibula are the two long bones located in the lower leg. The tibia is a larger bone on the inside, and the fibula is a smaller bone on the outside. The tibia is much thicker than the fibula. It is the main weight-bearing bone of the two.
