Anatomy Quiz


Look at the photo to the left and correctly identify the body part.
A. Knee
B. Shin
C. Elbow

Scroll down for answer.














The correct answer is B: my left tibia. This is what the front part of my leg looks like after my first day of kitesurfing. I had a major slam of the board against my lower leg and this is the result. I iced it and elevated it and took some ibuprofen, but the excess fluid has since drained down my leg and has pooled at my ankle (compare lower picture)--so yes, now I have a cankle. You know that bony bump on the inside of the lower leg (called the medial malleolus)? Well, I can no longer see mine. So sad. It doesn't really hurt any more, but it looks awful.
