The phalanges, or toe bones, are distal to the metatarsals. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.

∙ 9y agoThe phalanges, or toe bones, are the most distal bones of the foot. The metatarsals are proximal to the phalanges and the tarsals are proximal to the metatarsals.

Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
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.
What does the phalanges articulate with?
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.
Are the metatarsals distal to the calcaneous?
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
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 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 distal to phalanges?
The phalanges are the finger and toe bones. There is nothing in the upper limb distal to the phalanges except the very tips of the fingers.
What are metatarsals connected to?
The metatarsals are the bones in the feet that are between the ankle bones (the tarsals) and the toes (the phalanges).
What the metatarsals connected to?
The metatarsals are the bones in the feet that are between the ankle bones (the tarsals) and the toes (the phalanges).
What are the metatarsals connected to?
The metatarsals are the bones in the feet that are between the ankle bones (the tarsals) and the toes (the phalanges).
Are the metatarsals are connected to the phalanges?
Yes, but only in the feet.
Pertaining to the finger or toe?
Tarsals and metatarsals and phalanges
What is the difference between the distal and pedal phalanges?
The pedal phalanges are the toe bones. The distal phalanges are the finger or toe bones found at the tip of the digits.
