Lower Part Of The Body

The lower part of the human body that is used for movement. the lower limbs consist
of the feet, knees and ankles.

1. Femur

This bone falls into the category of long bones. This extremely sturdy and
unbreakable bone extends from the hips to the knees.

Function:

a. The strongest bones

As the strongest and strongest bone in the human body, the function of
the femur is vital in supporting the body. The femur also maintains the
stability of the human body. In addition, when humans are carrying
heavy loads, the femur also helps the body to remain strong and
support the load.
b. The main bone in the leg
 Not only big and sturdy, the thighbone is also the main bone of the
foot, which is the support of all the bones in the leg. This is because
the distal (bottom) thighbone is where all the leg bones are attached,
from the knee to the bottom of the leg.
2. Patela

The kneecap bone is the small bone that runs between the thighbone and shin
bone. The kneecap bone is approximately five centimeters long and covered
by cartilage that is strong and flexible.
The kneecap bone is covered by tendons that connect the thigh muscles to the
shins below the knee joint
Function:
a. Forming the knee joint
The kneecap bones participate in forming the knee joint along with
two other bones, namely the thighbone and shin bone
b. Helps the knee to bend and move
The kneecap bone has the main function of allowing the knee to bend
and move, and plays a role in any movement that requires the use of
the thigh.
c. Protects the knee joint
Although not its main function, the kneecap bone still acts as a
protector of the knee joint from external injury.
3. Tibia

The shin bone, aka the tibia, is one of the long bones that is located more
towards the center than the fibula or calf bone. The tibia is the second largest
bone in the body, after the femur or thighbone.
Function:
a. Supports body weight
Its large and sturdy size makes the shins the main support of the body.
b. Connects knees and ankles
The shins, together with the calf bones (fibula), connect the knee to the
ankle and then form joints, which allow our feet to move freely
c. Supports various leg muscles
Some of the main muscles responsible for moving the feet and soles of
the feet are attached to the shins. These muscles make it possible to
stand, walk, run and jump.
4. Fibula

The calf bone (fibula) is located on the side or lateral side of the shin bone
(tibula). The fibula is almost the same length as the tibia, but a much thinner
thickness. This difference in thickness is what makes the tibia act as the main
weight-bearing bone in the lower leg, while the fibula acts as a support for the
tibia.
Function:
The main function of the calf bone is to stabilize the lower leg. In addition,
this bone also acts as a binder to expand the ability to move the ankle.

5. Tarsal

The ankle bone (tarsal) is a bone consisting of the tip of the shin bone (tibia),
calf bone (fibula) and heel.
Function:
a. Allows the leg to move up and down because there is a hinge joint
b. To connect the leg bones of the forearm to the soles of the feet
c. Allows flexible foot movement due to the swivel joints

6. Metatarsal

The metatarsal bone is the long section of bone at the top of the foot, which
connects the ankle to the toes.
Function:
The function of the sole of the foot in humans is as a footing and support for
body weight when doing activities such as walking or others to balance and as
a regulator of body movements such as walking and jumping.

7. Palanges

The toe bones (phalanges / phalanx) are a type of bone that is located on the
foot and is connected to the sole of the foot (plantar) which functions as a
support for the body to be balanced in carrying out activities.
Function:
a. As a passive system of motion.
b. As a place of attachment for muscle tissue
c. As a support for the body
