Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The talus is the bone that primarily bears the weight of the body. It sits on top of the calcaneus (heel bone) and articulates with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint. The navicular, cuboid, and cuneiforms are smaller bones in the foot that contribute to movement and stability, but they do not bear as much weight as the talus.
