Describe the * The tibia. 78 ANATOMY ANH PHYSIOLOGY. The fibula is a smaller bone than the tibia, but of similarshape. It is firmly bound to the tibia, at each tibia, the condyles of the femur, and patella, form theknee joint. The tibia and fibula, with one of the tarsalbones, called astragulus, form the ankle joint. This is a per-fect specimen of the hinge joint. The foot is composed of three sets of bones. The tarsal,metatarsal and phalangeal. The tarsal, seven in number, are of an irregular form,and firmly bound together, permitting but little movement. Fig. 34. Fig.
