The phalanges are the finger and toe bones. There is nothing in the upper limb distal to the phalanges except the very tips of the fingers.
Are the metatarsals distal to the calcaneous?
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
Are the phalanges distal to the metatarsals?
The phalanges, or toe bones, are distal to the metatarsals. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
What is the difference between the distal and pedal phalanges?
The pedal phalanges are the toe bones. The distal phalanges are the finger or toe bones found at the tip of the digits.

Is the toes proximal to ankle?
ANSWER: YesTo quote my textbook, Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology (2nd Edition) by Donald C. Rizzo: "Proximal means nearest the point of attachment or origin. Example: the elbow is proximal to the wrist, the knee is proximal to the ankle. Distal mean away from the point of attachment or origin. Example: the wrist is distal to the elbow, the ankle is distal to the knee."
