What is the scientific name for lower leg?
Of the two bones in the lower human leg, the tibia is the longer and the fibula is narrower. The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone and the fibula allows the rotation of the foot. The tibia is also called the shin bone. If you are eating a chicken drumstick, the tibia is what you are holding. The fibula is that little splinter of a bone that runs about 2/3 of the way down. Tibia is Latin for "flute" because long hollow bird tibias could be carved into flutes...you might be able to make a piccolo out of a chicken tibia.
