The lateral malleolus found on the distal lateral surface of the fibula is responsible for the bony bulge on the lower leg. 

The lateral malleolus is the prominence on the outer or lateral side of the ankle. It is pyramidal in form and somewhat flattened. In clinical significance, a bimalleolar fracture is an ankle fracture that involves both the medial and lateral malleolus. This condition is more common in women especially the 60 year old age group. Another clinical condition of the said anatomical structure is the trimalleolar fracture which involves the lateral, medial, and the distal posterior aspect of the tibia or the posterior malleolus. This is primarily caused by ligament damage and dislocation.

At what levels do biologists study life?
andriy [413]
Biologist study life to the extent to which they can uncover, unearth and investigate unseen, latent and concealed life forms that are still many in number, these crawling and under the water creatures. And in experimental sense, many biologists are guided by the ethics in researching life forms. This is to protect and inhibit other biologist in killing thousands of these living organisms and prevent them from becoming extinct. Remember that biologists or any other scientists study because of knowledge and to contribute to the scientific world of making the ecosystem including us into a much better and cultured place and not the opposite.

Hence, there are non-experimental and experimental approaches which are all subject to ethics. In exploring life forms, it is quite unlimited but studying life forms in experimental sense, it is somehow depends on the number of species that the biologists’ study.
