It is the thinner of the two parallel bones of the lower leg (the larger one being the tibia).
The think lateral leg bone is the fibula. It is a non-weight bearing bone, but forms the lateral portion of your ankle joint.
There are two bones in each lower leg. They are the Tibia and Fibula. The Tibia is the bone in the front that is often referred to as the shin bone. The Fibula is behind the Tibia towards the back of the calf. In case you wanted to know, the smaller bone is the fibula.
The tibia is medial to the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the lower leg bones.
Tibia is the medial bone of the lower extremity
Well, well, well, look who's curious about anatomy! The smaller bone in the lower leg is called the fibula. It may be small, but it plays a big role in providing support and stability to the lower leg. Hope that satisfies your bone-craving curiosity!
the fanny crease :)
The medial malleolus is located on the tibia. The fibula forms the lateral malleolus.
The fibula is the thinner bone lateral to the tibia. The fibula is the smaller bone of the lower leg.
Femur is a Long Bone. It is important because it is the longest bone in the human body and because it determines a persons height (along with the Tibia and Fibula)
The bone thst articulates with the tibia and fibula is the Talus bone.
Another name for the fibula is the shin bone.
