Bones that are distal to the tibia and fibula and proximal to the metatarsals?

The bone structures between the toes and ankle are call tarsal and metatarsal bones. These make up the main structure of the foot beyond the ankle. The toes are often refered to as phalanges. (fingers also share this name) As an additional point of information, the bones in the hand are call carpals and metacarpals finishing up with the proximal phalanges, intermidiate phalanges and distal phalanges.

∙ 12y agoThe Tarsals are the small bones in the rear of the foot and the ankle. The Patella is the Bone that sits in front of the knee joint. Thus the two bones between them are the Tibia and Fibula, the bones of the Leg.

Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
How many bones are in the human ankle and foot?
There are bones in the ankle.Each foot contains 26 bones: 7 tarsals (ankle bones), 5 metatarsals (instep bones), and 14 phalanges (toe bones).
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
What is distal to the left elbow and proximal to the wrist?
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two 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.
Are the metatarsals distal to the calcaneous?
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
What are all the bones names in a cats rear legs?
Proximal to distal, the femur, the tibia, the patella, the fibula, the tarsal bones (ankle bones), the five metatarsals and the 12 phalanges.
What is proximal to the tarsals?
The tibia and fibula are the bones immediately proximal to the tarsals. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg.

What is the common name of the fibula femur metatarsals phalanges?
The bones of the leg.
What do they mean when they say that the distal articulation of the tibia and fibula?
The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula means the place where the tibia and fibula form a joint at the end of the bones farthest from the origin of the limb. The distal articulation of the tibia and fibula is with the talus.
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
Which bone articulate with metatarsal 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.
What is distal to the left elbow and proximal to the wrist?
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two bones.
