Interosseous membrane

Interosseous membranes are fibrous plates connecting the diaphyses of the bones of the lower leg and forearm. They form a syndesmosis, that is, a connection between bones without forming a joint. Interosseous membranes are an important part of the human skeleton, as they provide stability and strength to the connection between bones.

The interosseous membrane of the leg is a fibrous plate that connects the diaphyses of the tibia and fibula, forming a syndesmosis between them. It provides stability and protection to the joint and helps maintain body balance when walking.

Similarly, the interosseous membrane of the forearm is a fibrous plate connecting the shafts of the radius and ulna. It also forms the syndesmosis and plays an important role in maintaining joint stability and functionality.

In addition, the interosseous membranes of the lower leg and forearm are important for blood circulation and innervation. Blood vessels and nerves pass through them, which provide nutrition and nerve conduction between the bones of the lower leg and forearm.

In general, interosseous membranes are important skeletal structures that play an important role in ensuring the stability and functionality of bony joints. Their proper functioning is important for maintaining health and normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system.



The interosseous membrane is a fibrous plate that connects two bones, forming a syndesmosis, or fixed joint. In human anatomy, there are several interosseous membranes that perform different functions.

The interosseous membrane of the leg connects the diaphyses (middle parts) of the tibia and fibula. It plays an important role in maintaining balance and stability when walking and running. The interosseous membrane of the forearm connects the shafts of the ulna and radius, which provides stability and strength to the wrist.

In addition, interosseous membranes are involved in the transmission of movements between bones. For example, the interosseous membrane of the leg transmits force and motion from the tibia to the fibula, allowing the leg to flex and extend. The interosseous membranes of the forearm are also involved in transmitting motion between the radius and ulna bones, which helps the arm perform various movements.

However, it should be noted that the interosseous membranes can be damaged and diseased. For example, a tear in the interosseous membrane of the leg can lead to loss of balance and mobility in the leg.
