Metatarsals the the found within the Foot, although they are usually considered to be tow bones. They are long and make up the bulk of the length of the foot, they can often be felt in life by rubbinf along the top of the foot. These bones connect from the Tarsat Bones (the small bones at the back of the foot) to the Proximal Phalanx of the digits. The phallangess are the bones that are in the parts of the toe that is seen to be separate from the rest of the toes, not like the metatarsals which all look like they are joined up when viewed in life as they have skin wrapped around them all together. Each toe (including Hallucis, the big toe) has a metatarsal between its phalangees and the tarsal bones.
