What does TIBIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicalzoology
The larger of the two bones in the lower leg, running from the knee to the ankle; also the corresponding leg segment in birds and insects.
In humans the tibia forms the shin, bearing most of the body's weight as it runs down the inside of the lower leg from the knee joint to the ankle, with the slimmer fibula alongside it for support. Doctors and athletic trainers refer to the tibia constantly when describing shin splints, stress fractures, or breaks suffered in falls and collisions. The same word also names a leg segment in very different creatures, describing part of a bird's lower leg and, in insects, the long fourth segment between the femur and the foot-like tarsus.
