    The document describes key information about the tibia bone, including its scientific name, common names, location in the body, and etymological origin of its name. The tibia, also known as the shin bone or shank bone, is located in the lower leg. Its name comes from the Latin word "tibia" meaning shinbone, pipe, or flute, possibly derived from "tuba" meaning tube, as primitive flutes were sometimes made from bird shin bones.
