Ankle joint is formed by articulation
Correct answer: A. Distal ends of tibia-fibula and tarsal bones
- A. Distal ends of tibia-fibula and tarsal bones
- B. Distal ends of tibia-fibula and carpal bones
- C. Proximal end of tibia-fibula and tarsal bones
- D. Proximal end of tibia-fibula and carpal bones
Explanation
The ankle joint, also known as the talocrural joint, is formed by the articulation of the distal ends of the tibia and fibula with the talus bone, which is part of the tarsal bones. The correct option is the distal ends of the tibia-fibula and tarsal bones. Options involving carpal bones are incorrect because carpal bones are part of the wrist. Options mentioning the proximal ends of the tibia-fibula are incorrect because the ankle articulation involves the distal ends.
