Ankle joint is formed by the articulation of
Correct answer: B. Distal end of fibula and tarsal bones
- A. Distal end of tibia and carpal bones
- B. Distal end of fibula and tarsal bones
- C. Proximal end of tibia and carpal bones
- D. Proximal end of fibula and tarsal 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 tarsal bones, specifically the talus. This allows for the complex movements required for walking and running. Option B is correct because it references the distal end of the fibula and tarsal bones, which accurately describes the anatomical structure of the ankle joint. The other options incorrectly refer to carpal bones, which are part of the wrist, or the proximal ends of the bones, which are not involved in the ankle joint.

About Human Skeleton
The human skeleton provides support, protects organs, enables movement with muscles and stores minerals while bone marrow produces blood cells. Questions cover the axial and appendicular skeleton, types of bones and joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons, and the difference between fixed, slightly movable and freely movable joints.
