It depends on the phalanges in question. The distal phalanges in the four fingers and toes articulate with the intermediate phalanges. The intermediate phalanges articulate with the proximal phalanges and the proximal phalanges articulate with the metacarpals of the hand and the metatarsals of the toes. The same is true for the thumb and big toe except that neither one has an intermediate phalanges.
The statement is true. The metatarsophalangeal joints occur where the phalanges meet the metatarsals.
"Metacarpal" refers to a set of bones in your hands. It is the term for the bones that make up your knuckles. Known collectively as the metacarpus, the bones run from the base of the wrist, where they articulate with the carpals (wrist bones), to the base of each finger, where they articulate with the phalanges (finger bones).
Distal to the metatarsals are the phalanges. The great toe (hallux) has two phalanges where as all of the other toes have three each. The proximal phalanges attach the the metatarsals via the metatarsal phalangeal joints. Proximal to the metatarsals are the tarsals. The first, second, and third cuneiforms articulate with the first, second and third metatarsals. The fourth metatarsal articulates with the cuboid and the head of the fifth metatarsal is its own projection that can be felt on the lateral foot.
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Phalanges are your toes.
phalanges are your toes,phalanges is just a scientific name for toes!
The phalanges are located in the fingers.
Fourteen phalanges

the bones in the fingers are called metacarpals en the smaller finger bones are called phalanges.
The thumb has only two phalanges. The other fingers have three phalanges.
