The thumb and big toe have two phalanges.
Two in each big toe and three in the 4 remaining digits
The big toe proper has only 2 bones. Every other toe has 3 bones.The big toe on each foot has two bones called phalanges: a distal phalanx at the end and a proximal phalanx that connects to a metatarsal bone in the middle foot. All other toes have 3 phalanges, with a medial phalanx between the other two toe bones.
Each great toe has two phalanges.
Your big toe only has two bones (called phalanges) whereas the other toes have three.
In humans, the thumb and the big toe each have 2 phalanges. All other fingers and toes have 3. Therefore, humans have (3x16) + (2x4) = 56 phalanges. The number of phalanges in other species varies.
The pedal phalanges are the toe bones. The distal phalanges are the finger or toe bones found at the tip of the digits.
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 big toe bone is called the hallux. It is the innermost (most medial) toe of the foot, and is made up of the proximal and distal phalanges.
There are three phalanges (s. phalanx) in each of the lateral 4 toes and 2 phalanges in you Hallux (big Toe). The purpose of the phalanges are to serve as stabilizing pivots that allow stability when you walk. There is a total of 14 phalanges in each foot.
The phalanges are the bones that make up the fingers of the hand and the toes of the foot. There are 56 phalangesin the human body, with fourteen on each hand and foot.
A human hand (and foot) has 14 phalanges; 3 in every finger or toe and 2 in the thumb or big toe.
