Question

question 17 of 100
which three bones form the ankle joint?
select the correct response:

tibia, fibula, talus

tibia, fibula, patella

tarsals, metatarsals, talus

tarsals, metatarsals, patella

Explanation:

The ankle joint (talocrural joint) is formed by the distal ends of the tibia (shinbone) and fibula (calf bone), which together form a socket that articulates with the talus, the topmost bone of the foot. The patella is the kneecap, and tarsals/metatarsals are bones of the midfoot and forefoot, not part of the ankle joint itself.

Answer:

tibia, fibula, talus
