How can you determine if the tibia is right or left?
The body is divided into left and right sides and the arms and legs themselves are on one or the other of those two sides. If you run your hand down your inner thigh, that is where the tibia is. You can see that left and right can't describe where it is.The line (midline) that divides the body then, is a reference point for saying where the bones in the arms and legs are to each other. We use lateral (to the side) or medial (toward the midline). In each leg, the tibia is medial to the fibula.
What is the structure of your lower legs and arms?
Both your lower legs and lower arms are made of two bones each. The radius is the larger bone of the arm, analagous to the larger tibia of the leg. The ulna is the smaller bone of the arm, while the fibula is the smaller bone of the leg.

Is the tibia lateral to the fibula?
The fibula is located lateral to the tibia. In overall anatomical position, the tibia is medial in the body, and the tibia lateral. Both are located in the lower leg. The tibia articulates with the patella proximally, the fibula laterally, and the talus distally.

Which bones form lateral and medial malleolus?
The lateral malleolus is formed by the fibula, while the medial malleolus is formed by the tibia. These bony protrusions are located on each side of the ankle joint, providing stability and support to the joint.
What bones form a joint with the ankle?
There is no joint with the ankle. The joint is the ankle.There are three bones that make up the ankle joint. The joint of the ankle is made up of the Tibia and Fibula bones descending from the lower leg, and the Talus Tarsal bone of the upper foot/ankle.
What are all the names of the bones in your leg?
The human legs are referred to as the lower appendages, lower extremities, or lower limbs. They are part of what is called the appendicular skeleton and include the bones of the pelvis, the thigh, the leg, and the foot. The bone that makes up the pelvis in adults is called the OS coxae (which consists of the fused bones of the ilium, ischium, and the pubis). Then there are the bones of what most people consider the leg proper; the femur, patella, tibia, and fibula. The bones of the foot include the talus, calcaneus, cuniforms I,II, &III, cuboid, navicular, metatarsals I-V, and the phalanges of the toes.The big toe, or great toe, also called the hallux, has two phalanges, and the rest of the toes have three bones each. The singular term for one of the bones in the toes is phalanx, but the plural term for more than one is phalanges.
