Video Summary of Bones of the lower limb
There are many bones in the lower limb, including the femur (thigh bone), tibia and fibula ( shin bones), and the bones of the foot. Each of these bones has a specific purpose and function. The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the body, and it serves to support the weight of the upper body. The tibia and fibula are the two long bones in the leg that articulate with the femur to form the knee joint. The bones of the foot provide support for the body weight and enable walking, running, and other forms of locomotion.
