Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tibia is a long bone in the appendicular skeleton located in the lower leg. Fractures in this bone can occur due to stress or trauma and may require immobilization or surgery to heal properly. The other options listed (skull, vertebral column, sternum) are all part of the axial skeleton and are not typically involved in appendicular skeleton fractures.
