Leg–

• The lower leg is comprised of two bones, The tibia and the smaller fibula.
• The thigh bone, or femur is the large upper leg bone that connects the lower leg bones to the pelvic bone.

Femur- Femur or thigh bone is the proximal bone of the hindlimb in tetrapod vertebrates. It is the longest and haviest bone of human Skeleton.

Tibia- The tibia also known as shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger and anterior of the two bones in the leg below the know.

Fibula- The fibula or calf bone is a leg bone on the lateral side of the tibia.

Feet– The human foot consists of 26 bones. These bones fall into three group : The Tarsal bones, metatorsal bones and Phalanges.

• Tarsal Bones– The tarsal bones are a group of seven bones that make the rear section of the foot.
• Metatarsal Bones– The metatarsal bones are a group of five tubular bones in the middle of the foot. They connect to the tarsal bones and the phalanges.
• Phalanges– The phalanges are the bones in the bones. The second to fifth toes each contain three phalanges.
