muscular force.
3. Which bone forms the medial portion of the lower leg?
A. Fibula
B. Tibia
,C. Talus
D. Calcaneus
Correct answer: B. Tibia
Rationale: The tibia is the larger, medial weight-bearing bone
of the leg.
4. Which tarsal bone articulates directly with the tibia?
A. Calcaneus
B. Navicular
C. Talus
D. Cuboid
Correct answer: C. Talus
Rationale: The talus forms the primary articulation with the
tibia and fibula at the ankle.
5. Which bone is located posteriorly in the foot and forms the
heel?
A. Talus
B. Calcaneus
C. Navicular
D. Cuboid
Correct answer: B. Calcaneus
Rationale: The calcaneus is the largest tarsal bone and forms
the heel.
6. Which plane divides the body into right and left portions?
A. Transverse
B. Frontal
,C. Sagittal

11. Which muscles are the major plantarflexors of the ankle?
A. Tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus
B. Gastrocnemius and soleus
C. Peroneus tertius and extensor digitorum longus
D. Tibialis anterior and fibularis tertius
Correct answer: B. Gastrocnemius and soleus
Rationale: Gastrocnemius and soleus combine through the
Achilles tendon to produce powerful plantarflexion.
12. The Achilles tendon primarily attaches the calf muscles to
which bone?
A. Talus
B. Navicular
