    Tibia
    Tibia: The larger of the two bones in the leg (the smaller one being the fibula). The tibia is familiarly known as the shinbone. 'Tibia' is a Latin word meaning both shinbone and flute. It is thought that 'tibia' refers to both the bone and the musical instrument because flutes were once fashioned from the tibia (of animals).
