=='''Bones'''==

The bones immediately distal to the [[Femur - Anatomy & Physiology|femur]] are the [[Tibia - Anatomy & Physiology|tibia]], [[Fibula - Anatomy & Physiology|fibula]], [[Patella - Anatomy & Physiology|patella]] and some minor sesamoid bones. Some of these are involved in the stifle joint, weight-bearing and providing attachment for muscles.

The bones immediately distal to the [[Femur - Anatomy & Physiology|femur]] are the [[Hindlimb - Anatomy & Physiology#Tibia|tibia]], [[Fibula - Anatomy & Physiology|fibula]], [[Patella - Anatomy & Physiology|patella]] and some minor sesamoid bones. Some of these are involved in the stifle joint, weight-bearing and providing attachment for muscles.

Distal to these bones are the complex series of bones that make up the tarsus, these are the [[Tarsal bones - Anatomy & Physiology|tarsal bones]] and [[Metatarsals - Anatomy & Physiology|metatarsals]].
