Answer:D.the lateral malleolus of the fibula.

Explanation:The ankle is the area/joint where the foot and the leg meet. The ankle consists of three joints which includes

(1) Talocrural joint,

(2) The subtalar joint,

(3) Inferior tibiofibular joint.

The main bones of the ankle region are the talus (in the foot), and the tibia and fibula (in the leg). The malleolus is the bony prominence on each side of the human ankle and the most prominent point of possible injuries or fracture when twisting takes place under great force.

Identify the bone that articulates with the distal end of the femur. view available hint(s) identify the bone that articulates w
MatroZZZ [7]

The correct answer is: <em>tibia</em>

The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is one of the longest bones of the human body. The distal point of the femur refers to the area furthest away from its point of attachment, which in this case is the hip joint (please refer to the attached image). When referring to the image, you can see that the distal end of the femur articulates with the bone known as the tibia or shin bone. The tibia is the larger of the two bones located at the distal end of the femur. The tibia includes the knee and ankle joints. Therefore, the bone that articulates with the distal end of the femur is the tibia.
