∙ 13y agoIn tetrapods, the tarsus are the cluster of bones in the foot between the tibia and fibula and the metatarsus. The bones of the tarsus do not belong to individual toes, whereas those of the metatarsus do. The joint between the tibia and fibula and the tarsus is referred to as the ankle joint.

What joint is made up of the tibia fibula talus and allows for dorsiflexion and plantar flexion?
ankle joint ankle joint
What bones form a joint with the ankle?
There is no joint with the ankle. The joint is the ankle.There are three bones that make up the ankle joint. The joint of the ankle is made up of the Tibia and Fibula bones descending from the lower leg, and the Talus Tarsal bone of the upper foot/ankle.
What is the only bone that articulates with the tibia and fibula?
The femur articulates with the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia. The femur is the bone commonly known as the thigh bone.
What are the three main bones in the human leg?
The bones found within a human leg include the and the calcaneus, the femur, the fibula, the metatarsals, the patella, phalanges, talus, tarsals, and the tibia.
Which bones articulate with the proximal end of the tibia?
Those bones are the tarsals, which make the ankle.The distal ends of the tibia and fibula articulate with a single tarsal bone called the talus.footfoottarsal bones
What joint is at the distal tibia and fibula?
The distal tibia and fibula both articulate with the talus. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
What synovial joint is between the talus tibia and fibula?
talocrural joint which is a hinge joint
What bone articulate most with the tibia?
The tiba articulates with the fibula an the femur at the knee joint. And at the ankle it articulates with the talus and fibula.
What do they mean when they say that the distal articulation of the tibia and fibula?
The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula means the place where the tibia and fibula form a joint at the end of the bones farthest from the origin of the limb. The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula is with the talus.
What joint is the ankle?
Ankle is a synovial type of joint. You have the lower end of tibia bone, medially and lower end of fibula bone, laterally and talus bone on other side of the joint.
What joint is made up of the tibia fibula talus and allows for dorsiflexion and plantar flexion?
ankle joint ankle joint
Which bone articulates with the distal tibia and fibula?
The bone thst articulates with the tibia and fibula is the Talus bone.
What bones form a joint with the ankle?
There is no joint with the ankle. The joint is the ankle.There are three bones that make up the ankle joint. The joint of the ankle is made up of the Tibia and Fibula bones descending from the lower leg, and the Talus Tarsal bone of the upper foot/ankle.
What kind of joint is found between the distal tibia and fibula?
The joint between the distal tibia and fibula is a syndesmosis. It does not allow for much movement.
What is the only bone that articulates with the tibia and fibula?
The femur articulates with the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia. The femur is the bone commonly known as the thigh bone.
What is the name of the foot that joins with the tibia and fibula?
Talus
What are the four bones that form the ankle joint?
The four bones that form the ankle joint are the tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg that articulate with the talus, which sits on top of the calcaneus, or heel bone.
