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 axial skeleton bone is the only one in the body that does not articulate with another bone?
the hyoid bone, also known as lingual bone, it is in the neck. it's supported by the muscles of the neck and supports the root of the tongue.
What results from the displacement of the metatarsal and big toe bones?
The displacement of these two foot bones causes a projection of bone on the inside portion of the forefoot.
What are cartilage and ligaments?
Joins are where two bones meet and articulate. Ligaments hold these joints together by attaching bone to bone. Cartilage is a smooth, soft tissue that separates the bones in the joint so that they do not directly rub on each other as they articulate.
What is a description of a bone?
One of the bones involved is called the first metatarsal bone. This bone is long and slender, with the big toe attached on one end and the other end connected to foot bones closer to the ankle.
Which cranial bone houses the condyles that articulate with first cervical vertebra?
The occipital condyles of the occipital bones articulate with the first cervical vertebra.
What is the function of the medial cuneiform bone?
Like other tarsal bones, this bone plays a role in motion and support of the body. Additionally, the medial cuneiform touches four other bones: the intermediate cuneiform bone, the navicular, and two metatarsal bones.
What is a bone lateral to the sternum?
The clavicles and ribs are lateral to the sternum. Both bones articulate with the breastbone.
Where is cartilage found on the surface of a large bone?
