Bones that are distal to the tibia and fibula and proximal to the metatarsals?
The bone structures between the toes and ankle are call tarsal and metatarsal bones. These make up the main structure of the foot beyond the ankle. The toes are often refered to as phalanges. (fingers also share this name) As an additional point of information, the bones in the hand are call carpals and metacarpals finishing up with the proximal phalanges, intermidiate phalanges and distal phalanges.
How many bones do we have in our fingers?
The fingers (and toes) in anatomy are called digits. The visible parts are made up of three bones called phalanges (aside from the thumbs). The Distal Phalanx is the one in the tip of the finger, the Middle Phalanx is the one in the middle of the finger and the Proximal Phalanx is in the base of the finger. There is also another bone in each digit but is hidden the body of the Hand. These are called the Metacarpal bones and are long thin bones. These are not part of the digits.To answer this directly: the number of bones in each finger is three except the thumb which has two. The same with the toes. The large toe has two and the others have three.
Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
Are phalanges and metacarpals considered long bones?
Yes.
Are carpals long bones or flat bones or short bones or irregular bones?
There are often sesamoid bones at the interphalangeal joints resembling the petella in the knee
Where is the metatarsus?
Metatarsus bones are five long foot bones. They are distal to tarsus bones and proximal to phalanges in your foot. So bones that are proximal to your toes are metatarsus bones.
What type of bone is the fingers?
The bones that make up your fingers (and toes) are called phalanges.

What are phlangies?
The phalanges are the long bones in the fingers and toes. In humans, there are 14 phalanges in each hand and each foot. They are also known as phalanx bones.
How are metarcarsals and phalanges different?
The metacarsals and phalanges are both types of bones found in the hand, but they make on different parts of the hand. The metacarsals are five long skinny bones that make up the upper palm of a hand. The phalanges make up the fingers. There are three in each long finger, and two in the thumb.
How many total phalanges in a human being?
There are 14 phalanges in each hand and 14 in each foot ... 14(4)= 56 total phalanges in the human body. In anatomy, phalanx bones (plural phalanges) are those that form the toes and the fingers. In primates such as humans and monkeys, the two thumbs and two big toes have two phalanges, and the other fingers and toes have three phalanges. They are also classified as long bones.

Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long 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.
Are phalanges and metacarpals considered long bones?
Yes.

Where are your metatarsal bone?
The metatarsus consists of the five long bones of the foot, which are numbered from the medial side (ossa metatarsalia I.-V.); each presents for examination a body and two extremities. These are analogous to the metacarpals of the hand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metatarsal_bone The middle part of the foot that forms the instep, and includes the five bones between the toes and ankle.
