Question

Given diagram shows bone of the left human hindlimb as seen from front. It has certain mistakes in labelling.
Which of the following pairs contains both wrongly labelled bones?

• A. Tibia and tarsals
• B. Femur and fibula
• C. Fibula and phalanges
• D. Tarsals and femur

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fibula and phalanges

Each leg contains 30 bones, namely, femur in the thigh, a patella in the knee, tibia and fibula in the lower leg, 7 Tarsals in the ankle, 5 metatarsals in the sole, and 14 phalanges in the toes.

Phalangeal Formula for the human foot is 2,3,3,3,3.

So, Fibula and phalanges are wrongly labelled.

So, the correct answer is 'Fibula and phalanges'.
