Yes, the phalanges are the bones that make up the fingers and toes. Each finger and toe has three phalanges: the proximal phalanx closest to the hand or foot, the middle phalanx, and the distal phalanx at the tip of the digit.
The phalanges of the big toe consist of two segments: the proximal phalanx and the distal phalanx. Unlike the other toes, which have three phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal), the big toe lacks a middle phalanx.
The singular form of "phalanges" is "phalanx." Phalanges refer to the bones in the fingers and toes, while a phalanx refers to an individual bone within that group. Each finger and toe consists of multiple phalanges, contributing to their structure and movement.
The 14 phalanges in the human hand consist of three bones in each of the four fingers (index, middle, ring, and pinky) and two bones in the thumb. The names of the phalanges are: proximal phalanx, middle phalanx, and distal phalanx for each of the four fingers, plus the proximal and distal phalanx for the thumb. Thus, the complete list includes: proximal phalanx (4), middle phalanx (3), and distal phalanx (4) for the fingers, and proximal phalanx (1) and distal phalanx (1) for the thumb.
