The diagram provided shows a basic outline of the appendicular skeleton. Which number indicates the tibia?
The tibia is the larger of the two bones located in the bottom portion of the leg,
below the knee. In this diagram of the bones in the leg, we can see again that the tibia is the
larger bone in this portion of the leg. It is located next to another long, thin bone, known as the fibula.
Let’s quickly identify all the bones indicated by numbers in this diagram in order to
answer this question with confidence.
1 points to the finger bones, or phalanges. 2 points to the radius, one of the two bones in the forearm. We can tell this is the radius because it is broader at the wrist than the other
bone. 3 points to the humerus. 4 points to the scapula, commonly known as the shoulder blade. 5 points to the ilium portion of the pelvis. 6 points to the femur. 7 points to the tibia. And 8 points to the fibula.
This question asks about which number indicates the tibia. So the correct answer is 7. The tibia is indicated in this diagram by the number 7.
