Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb or finger. Medial means the inside aspect, closer to the midline. So the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx is the "inside" edge of the first bone of the toe, closer to the beginning of the toe than to the end.
The thumb is missing the distal phalanx, while the big toe is missing the middle phalanx.
The big toe proper has 2 bones. Every other toe has 3 bones.The big toe on each foot has two bones called phalanges: a distal phalanx at the end and a proximal phalanx that connects to a metatarsal bone in the middle foot. All other toes have 3 phalanges, with a medial phalanx between the other two toe bones.
The big toe has two bones: the proximal phalanx and the distal phalanx. These are the bones that make up the main structure of the big toe, allowing for movement and flexibility.
Toes are known as phalanx (or individually as phalanges) made up with 3 phalanges for all the toes except the big toe which only has 2 (distal and proximal) not the middle phalanges. They are simply referred to by number, starting from your big toe (also known as the hallux): First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth. Don't confuse the phalanges of the foot with the metatarsals (which are the instep of the foot), the foot is divided into three main parts, the phalanx, the metatarsals and the tarsals.
There are 26 bones in each foot, not including the 2 sesamoid bones located underneath the first metatarsal head. starting from number 1 (heel) move to number 17 (last bone of each toe not including big toe) you might want to google these bones to see in x-ray or picture where exactly they are if you are unsure 1 Calcaneus 2 Talus 3 Navicular 4 Medial cuneiform 5 Intermediate cuneiform 6 Lateral cuneiform 7 Cuboid 8 First metatarsal 9 Second metatarsal 10 Third metatarsal 11 Fourth metatarsal 12 Fifth metatarsal 13 Proximal phalanx of great toe 14 Distal phalanx of great toe 15 Proximal phalanx of second toe 16 Middle phalanx of second toe 17 Distal phalanx of second toe
The scientific names for the fourteen phalanges in the foot are as follows: distal phalanx of the hallux, middle phalanx of the hallux, proximal phalanx of the hallux, distal phalanx of the second toe, middle phalanx of the second toe, proximal phalanx of the second toe, distal phalanx of the third toe, middle phalanx of the third toe, proximal phalanx of the third toe, distal phalanx of the fourth toe, middle phalanx of the fourth toe, proximal phalanx of the fourth toe, distal phalanx of the fifth toe, and middle phalanx of the fifth toe.
A phalanx is a toe bone. Thus a fractured proximal phalanx is a broken toe.
The big toe proper has only 2 bones. Every other toe has 3 bones.The big toe on each foot has two bones called phalanges: a distal phalanx at the end and a proximal phalanx that connects to a metatarsal bone in the middle foot. All other toes have 3 phalanges, with a medial phalanx between the other two toe bones.
The thumb is missing the distal phalanx, while the big toe is missing the middle phalanx.

The big toe has two bones: the proximal phalanx and the distal phalanx. These are the bones that make up the main structure of the big toe, allowing for movement and flexibility.
Yes, the phalanges are the bones that make up the fingers and toes. Each finger and toe has three phalanges: the proximal phalanx closest to the hand or foot, the middle phalanx, and the distal phalanx at the tip of the digit.
No the little toe is lateral to the big toe, and so the big toe is medial to the little toe.
Phalanges. There are 3 phalanges (the proximal, middle, and distal phalanx) in most of the fingers and toes. The exceptions are the thumb and large toes which only have two each.
Phalanges is the overall term for the structures (i.e the fingers) and these are composed of phalanx's (distal, proximal, and middle).
Toes are known as phalanx (or individually as phalanges) made up with 3 phalanges for all the toes except the big toe which only has 2 (distal and proximal) not the middle phalanges.

The phalanx is a bone in the finger or toe. The plural form of the word is phalanges or phalanxes.
