Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distal end of the tibia is located near the ankle joint, whereas its proximal end is located near the knee joint. Therefore, the statement that the distal shin bone (tibia) is closer to the ankle than to the knee is true. A is false because the distal thigh bone (femur) is closer to the knee than the hip. B is false because the distal humerus (arm bone) is closer to the elbow than to the axilla. D is false because the medial thigh is closer to the midline of the body than the lateral thigh.
