Question

The ____ is mounted almost directly on top of the talus and extends over its medial side.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Tibia

Step-by-step explanation:

The portion of the human leg extending from knee to the ankle, is comprised of two bones: tibia and fibula.

The tibula is the strong anterior bone, present along with fibula on the medial side of the leg. It is the second largest bone of the human body.

The distal end of tibula is prolonged downward on its medial side and the inferior articular surface of this bone is articulated with the talus.

Answer 2

The correct answer will be-Tibia

Step-by-step explanation:

Tibia is the second largest bone of the body also known by its name called shinbone. The Tibia is located in the lower front portion of the leg above the talus and supports the weight of the whole body.

The tibia plays an important role in supporting the ankle and knee joints as it is linked to both ankle and knees.

Thus, the tibia is the correct answer.
