The phalanges are in the skeleton system. They are the bones at the tips of your fingers and toes. The phalanges in your fingers allow you to pick up things and generally just allow you to move your fingers, and the phalanges in your toes allow you to walk, balance and stay upright. They grip things. They are your fingers (and toes). Their main function is to be able to pick things up and put them down. And the function of the phalanges is to provide dexterity to the hand. To provide structure to your feet and hands. There are 3 phalanges (the proximal, middle, and distal phalanx) in most of the fingers and toes. However, the thumb and large toe have only two phalanges that accounts for their being shorter.You can flex or extend the fingers because of phalanges only. Importance of fingers can not be over emphasised.
No. Definitely not. The arches of the feet allow humans to walk on two legs, allowing the phalanges of the hands to use tools. If you do not believe it, ask yourself which phalanges you would give up, those of your hands or feet, if you had to decide.
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.

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.
Phalanges are your toes.
phalanges are your toes,phalanges is just a scientific name for toes!
The phalanges are located in the fingers.
