Biology homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Three bones participate in the formation of the ankle- Tibia, fibula and Talus. The malleoli, medial malleolus(bony process extanding distaly off the medial tibia)and lateral malleolus(distal-most aspect of the fibula) , along with their supporting ligament stabilize the talus underneath the tibia.The ankle is composed of three joints-the talocrural joint( Ankle mortise), the subtalar joint  and the Inferior tibiofibular joint.
