Anatomy Lecture 6

The two bones of the lower legs are

• tibia and femur

• fibula and femur

• tibia and fibula

• talus and fibia

The shin bone is the

• patella

• tibia

• femur

• fibula

The flat surface on the superior part of the tibial condyles is called a

• fibular notch

• tibial fossa

• tibial flat surface

• tibial plateau

the intercondylar tubercles fit into the femur at the

• patellar fossa

• intercondylar fossa

• tibial plateaus

• femoral plateaus

The head of the fibula attaches to the tibia at

• Gerdy's tubercle

• tibial tuberosity

• lateral tibial condyle

• fibular articular facet

The medial malleolus is a bony landmark of the

• tibia

• talus

• fibula

• femur

The lateral malleolus is a bony landmark of the

• tibia

• fibula

• femur

• talus

The fibula is important for weight bearing.
