What are the names of the ankle and toe bones?
Put simply, the ankle and foot bones are called the tarsals and metatarsals respectively. In groups, if you look at them as you would your hand, the toes (or fingers) are called the phalanges, the long bones that connect the toes to the foot are called the metatarsals, and then the actual bones of the foot are the tarsals. Without giving you a diagram, I will name them the best I can if you follow along using your own foot :-)All toes are called digits or phalanges, and are ordered using roman numerals, with I being the big toe and V being the pinkie toe. Toe I, the big toe, is called the Hallux.The largest tarsal bone is the calcaneus, or heel (which attaches to the Achilles tendon (aka calcaneal to form the calf muscles). If you move down from the heel, you will find the 2nd largest tarsal bone, the talus, which is the "ridge" of the top of your foot -- the part that hurts really bad if someone stomps on it. If you follow that part of your foot toward your big toe, you will feel where it flexes a little at the end of the talus. This is a wide but short bone called the navicular....those three bones together (the talus, calcaneus, and navicular) form what would be synonymous to the wrist..only in the foot. Toward the outside of the foot immediately next to the navicular is what is called the cuboid, which if you are looking down at the top of your foot, is a rounded part that lines up with the pinkie toe (the outside of the foot). This bone is longer than the navicular....OK...now there are three small bones called cuneiform that are lined up with the cuboid on top (since the navicular was shorter than the cuboid), which are identified as medial cuneiform (on the big toe side of the foot), the intermediate cuneiform, and the lateral cuneiform.OK...now to the part you can feel -- There are 4 bony pieces to each "toe" (except the big toe, which has 3). So starting with the hallux (big toe), if you run your finger between toes I & II, you will feel where the bones separate. That long bone that connects to the big toe is called the first metatarsal. The next part is called the proximal phalanx (if you bend your big toe, its the larger part where it bends at the top of the foot), and the end of the big toe is called the distal phalanx. Toes II - V have a part that the big toe doesn't have...they also start at the metatarsal (numbered according to the toe), which goes to the proximal phalanx. The difference is on toes themselves..if you notice, your big toe can only bend in two places--but each little toe bends in three. So after the proximal phalanx is the middle phalanx, then the distal phalanx.Good luck :-)
