Tibia and Fibula

Dr. Morton, a noted anatomist, explains the tibia and fibula, their landmarks, and functions. The tibia, known as the shin bone, is the principal leg bone with key features like the tibial tuberosity and medial malleolus. The fibula, a lateral leg bone, is described with its head, neck, and lateral malleolus. The video also covers the ankle joint, highlighting the mortise joint formed by the tibia, fibula, and talus, enabling dorsiflexion and plantar flexion.
