In the human skeleton, fibula proximally articulates with the
Correct answer: D. Proximal end of tibia
- A. Lateral side of tibia
- B. Distal end of femur
- C. Anterior side of tibia
- D. Proximal end of tibia
Explanation
The fibula is a bone located in the lower leg, running parallel to the tibia. It primarily serves as a site for muscle attachment rather than significant weight-bearing. Proximally, the fibula articulates with the tibia at the lateral side, forming part of the knee joint, but it does not articulate with the femur. The femur is the thigh bone, and its distal end forms the knee joint with the tibia, not the fibula.

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.
