The fibula is the smaler of the two bones located in the lower legs (the other is the tibia). Its main function is to provide a location for muscle attachment. Even though the fibula is not the weight-bearing bone of the legs, it lends support to the tibia, making us human more stable. It also offers us a wide range of maneuverability (running, jumping, climbing, stabilizing).

What does the fibula bone help you do?
It helps you with your movement so you can do things!
Why is the fibula unique?
The fibula bone is unique because it is so slender. Remarkably, it is small in diameter compared to its length.
What is the fibla?
The fibula is also known as the calf bone. It is the smaller of the two bones that run between the knee and ankle. The other bone in the calf is the tibia. The fibula and the tibia are connected at the top and bottom. At the top, near the knee, the fibula ends without making up part of the knee joint. At the bottom, it forms one part of the ankle joint. This bone is unique because it is so slender. Compared to the length of the fibula, it is remarkably small in diameter. It is not a weight bearing bone, but its neighbor, the tibia, bears the weight in the leg.
How much weight is necessary to break your tibia or fibula bone?
I think it depends on the health of the bone (s) and also the weight of the person injured. However, I'm no doctor, so if you or anyone you know is suspected to have a fractured tibia/fibula, bring them to a doctor asap.
Which bones are not connected?
The hyoid is the only bone in the body that does not form a joint with any other bone so it is called a floating bone.The hyoid is the only bone in the body that does not form a joint with any other bone so it is called a floating bone.
What does a bone do in the body?

Are bones limbs?
The bones in the arms and legs. These would be the radius and ulna in the distal part of the arm. That is the part connected to the hand. In the proximal part of the arm, it would be the humerus. That is the bone connected to the shoulder. In the legs, the limb bones are the femur, the tibia and the fibula. The femur is the large bone that articulates with the hip. The tibia and fibula are in the distal leg, near the foot. The patella is the knee cap found between the femur and the tibia and fibula. Many would not consider it a limb bone, but it is found in the limbs so many would. There are also many bones in your writs, hands and feet.

What are all the long bones of the human body?
the Femur (thigh bones) are the longest The arm and leg bones are referred to as the 'long bones' in our bodies. These are the humerus, ulna, and radius of the arm and the tibia, fibula, and femur of the leg.
