According to Wiki, the Phalanx is a long bone
long bone in phalanges
I believe the phalanx would be classified as a long bone because its length is approximately twice its width.
The distal phalanx is the bone located at the tip of the finger or toe. It is part of the terminal bone in each digit and provides support for the nail bed.
The lunate is a short bone.
Each phalanx that articulates with the distal end of a metacarpal is a proximal phalanx. These phalanges are numbered one through five to distinguish them.
The big toe proper has 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.
Phalanx-- Any of the digital bones of the hand or foot.

It is technically a long bone, has head, base and diaphysis. It is small, but is technically a long bone.
Yes there is. The bones in the palm of your hand are known as the metacarpals. The next bone runs from the metacarpals to the first knuckle. This bone is known as th proximal phalanx and is joined to the metacarpals by the metacarpophalangeal joint. The bone between the first knuckle and the second knuckle is known as the middle phalanx, and the bone from the seconf knuckle to the tip of your finger is known as the distal phalanx.
The scientific name for finger bone is phalanx bones.
Medial in terms of phalanges means the middle bone of the second through fourth fingers. The bone at the end is the distal phalanx, and the one closest to the palm is the proximal phalanx.
The lunate is a short bone.
It is known as the thumb basal joint, also known as the carpometacarpal joint. It is a special saddle-shaped joint that is formed by the small wrist bone and the first of the three bones in the thumb.
