Talus
Talus
carpal bones-->wrist and hands & tarsal bones-->feet and ankles.
There are seven tarsal bones: three cuneiform bones, the cuboid, navicular, talus, and calcaneus.
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.
The tarsal bones are the bone of the ankle, heel and upper foot. Technically the ankle joint is the connection between the tibia and fibula (leg bones) and the talus, or ankle bone.
The ankle-bone is called the talus. It sits below the two leg bones, the tibia and the fibula.
The talus (ankle bone) articulates (moves interactively) with both the tibia and fibula, the bones of the lower leg.
Most body weight is carried by the two largest and most posterior tarsals, calcaneus and talus.Source: "Anatomy Coloring Workbook" by Alcamo & Bergdahl, p. 50
The talus bone sits on the calcaneus.
The distal tibia and fibula both articulate with the talus. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
the calcaneus
The fibula articulates with the talus distally. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
