A cricket player is fastly chasing a ball in the field. Which one of the following groups of bones are directly contributing in this movement?

Step-by-step solution

Each leg contains 30 bones; femur in the thigh, patella in the knee, tibia and fibula in the lower leg, 7 tarsals in the ankle, 5 metatarsals in the sole, 14 phalanges in the toes.
