Frogs have many phalanges, or digits, which enhance their ability to adapt to various environments. These additional finger bones contribute to their powerful swimming and jumping abilities, providing better propulsion and control in water and on land. Moreover, a greater number of phalanges can improve their grip on surfaces, aiding in climbing and capturing prey. Overall, this anatomical feature supports their survival and efficiency in diverse habitats.

What is the medical name for knuckle?
I have previously read that the medical name for "knuckle" is the interphalangeal joint, but this just refers to the joints of any of the three bones of the fingers (phalanges), being the proximal, medial, and distal phalanges. Therefore, the knuckle is the "proximal condyle of the phalanges". This refers to where the metacarpals (the palm bones) meet the fingers (phalanges). I am not a medical professional, but due to in-depth investigation as per a past research project, I know virtually every "medical" name (and the many, many synonyms) for features of superficial androtomy (human anatomy), and I've not yet come across a specific one for knuckles.
