The suitability of tibia, but not the fibula involved in the transfer of weight to the ankle and foot.
Concept introduction:
The lower limb of humans consists of two bones, namely tibia and fibula. The tibia is the large, slender bone that is medial to the fibula. The tibia and fibula are connected to each other by the interosseous membrane.

At the emergency room, the physician tells Yasmin’s parents that the proximal end of the tibia, where the epiphysis meets the diaphysis, is fractured. The fracture is properly set and eventually heals. During a routine physical when she is 18, Yasmin learns that her right leg is 2 cm shorter than her left, probably because of her accident. What might account for this difference?arrow_forwardPlease answer 3) The origin of the brachioradialis is on the distal end of the humerus, it inserts onto the surface of the radius proximal to the styloid process, and it acts to flex the arm at the elbow.
