Which part of the leg lies between the femur and tarsus?

Correct option is C

• The femur is the thickest and strongest part of the leg, often adapted for jumping (as in grasshoppers).

• The tibia is the elongated segment that connects the femur to the tarsus and is often equipped with spines or sensory structures.

• The tarsus is the final segment that connects the leg to the ground and helps in gripping and walking.

Information Booster:

1. Coxa: The first segment that connects the leg to the body (thorax).

2. Trochanter: A small joint between the coxa and femur that allows movement.

3. Femur: The largest and strongest part of the leg, important for locomotion.

4. Tibia: The elongated part that connects the femur to the tarsus and aids in movement.

5. Tarsus: The final part of the leg, often consisting of multiple small segments for gripping.

6. Arolium: A pad-like structure found between the claws of the tarsus, helping insects cling to surfaces.
