The shin bone, or tibia, acts as a lever, which is a type of simple machine. Specifically, it functions as a third-class lever, where the effort is applied between the fulcrum (the knee joint) and the load (the weight of the body). This arrangement allows for efficient movement and support during activities like walking and running.
