What is the name of the bone in the lower leg between the knee and ankle?

It is one of the tarsal bones called calcaneous_____________________________I would argue that the talus is the bone of the foot that connects with the leg.The tibial plafond, together with the lateral malleolus of the fibula, articulate with the talus (a tarsal bone). The talus then in turn articulates with the calcaneous.


Give a list of the tarsal bones?

The 'tarsus' is a cluster of seven articulating bones in each foot. The bones that make up the tarsus, i.e. tarsal bones are: medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform, navicular, cuboid, talus, and calcaneus.

How many bones are there in tarsal?

the bones that make ankle joint are tibia (shin bone), fibula and talus. the rest of the bones listed below are bones of footTarsals: Talus - is the most proximal tarsal bone. It has a smooth, rounded joint surface that articulates with the tibia. Calcaneus - this is the largest, most posterior tarsal, the one that forms the heel. The Achilles tendon attaches to this bone Navicular - is another boat-shaped bone like the carpal of the same name. It is on the medial surface of the foot, just distal to the talus. Cuboid - is a bone that is roughly cube shaped. It lies lateral to the navicular. Cuneiforms first, second and third - are three small stick-like bones. They articulate with the proximal phalanges of the medial three toes. Their identifying numbers increase from medial to lateral like the metatarsals, but don't get their first, second, third designation mixed up with the I, II, III naming of the metatarsals.Metatarsals: Metatarsals I to V - warning, these bones are numbered differently from the metacarpals. The big toe side (medial) is I and the little toe side is V (lateral). These bones form the anterior part of the arch of the foot.Phalanges: Proximal phalanges - as in the hand, the foot has 14 phalanges. Again, they are individually identified with a Roman numeral (I-V) and the designations proximal, middle or distal. The proximal phalanges articulate with the metatarsals. Middle phalanges - this one is absent from the big toe. Distal phalanges - these small phalanges are found in the tips of the toes.There are seven bones that make up the tarsus.
