scheenbeen
Also known as shinbone, shin, shankbone, shank, holenní kost
The tibia (; : tibiae or tibias), also known as the shinbone, shankbone or simply the shin, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle. The tibia is found on the medial side of the leg next to the fibula and closer to the median plane. The tibia is connected to the fibula by the interosseous membrane of leg, forming a type of fibrous joint called a syndesmosis with very little movement. The tibia is named for the flute tibia. I
AI overview
The tibia, commonly called the shinbone, is the larger of the two bones in your lower leg that runs from your knee to your ankle. It's an important structural bone that bears much of your leg's weight and works with the smaller fibula bone to support movement and stability.

Het scheenbeen of tibia is het grootste van de twee botten in het been onder de knie bij mensen en andere gewervelden. Het scheenbeen loopt samen met het kuitbeen van de knie tot de enkel. Bij mannen loopt het scheenbeen geheel parallel aan het scheenbeen van de andere kant, maar bij vrouwen is er sprake van een lichte schuine stand naar beneden en opzij, om te compenseren voor de schuinere stand van het dijbeen.
