Bones of the lower limb provide support and protection from "summary" of Bd Chaurasia's Human Anatomy, Volumes 3 & 4 by B. D. Chaurasia

The bones of the lower limb play a crucial role in providing structural support and protection to the entire body. These bones are specifically designed to bear the weight of the body and facilitate various movements such as walking, running, and jumping. The lower limb consists of several bones, including the femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges. The femur, or thigh bone, is the longest and strongest bone in the human body. It is designed to support the weight of the body and withstand the forces generated during activities such as walking and running. The patella, or kneecap, protects the knee joint and improves the leverage of the quadriceps muscles during movements. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg, with the tibia being the larger and weight-bearing bone. These bones provide support to the body and protect the delicate structures of the lower leg, such as nerves and blood vessels. The tarsal bones form the ankle joint and provide stability to the foot during weight-bearing activities. The metatarsal bones are located in the midfoot region and form the arches of the foot, which help in shock absorption and weight distribution. The phalanges are the bones of the toes and play a crucial role in balance and propulsion during activities such as walking and running.
  1. The bones of the lower limb work together to provide support and protection to the body. They form a strong and stable framework that allows for efficient movement and weight-bearing. Without these bones, the body would not be able to perform essential functions such as walking, running, and standing upright.
