Is the tarsal region distal to popliteal region?

The proximal tarsal region is the ankle area closest to the leg and farthest from the foot. The talus is the most proximal of the tarsals.


Which bones articulate with the proximal end of the tibia?

Those bones are the tarsals, which make the ankle.The distal ends of the tibia and fibula articulate with a single tarsal bone called the talus.footfoottarsal bones


How many bones are there in tarsal?

the bones that make ankle joint are tibia (shin bone), fibula and talus. the rest of the bones listed below are bones of footTarsals: Talus - is the most proximal tarsal bone. It has a smooth, rounded joint surface that articulates with the tibia. Calcaneus - this is the largest, most posterior tarsal, the one that forms the heel. The Achilles tendon attaches to this bone Navicular - is another boat-shaped bone like the carpal of the same name. It is on the medial surface of the foot, just distal to the talus. Cuboid - is a bone that is roughly cube shaped. It lies lateral to the navicular. Cuneiforms first, second and third - are three small stick-like bones. They articulate with the proximal phalanges of the medial three toes. Their identifying numbers increase from medial to lateral like the metatarsals, but don't get their first, second, third designation mixed up with the I, II, III naming of the metatarsals.Metatarsals: Metatarsals I to V - warning, these bones are numbered differently from the metacarpals. The big toe side (medial) is I and the little toe side is V (lateral). These bones form the anterior part of the arch of the foot.Phalanges: Proximal phalanges - as in the hand, the foot has 14 phalanges. Again, they are individually identified with a Roman numeral (I-V) and the designations proximal, middle or distal. The proximal phalanges articulate with the metatarsals. Middle phalanges - this one is absent from the big toe. Distal phalanges - these small phalanges are found in the tips of the toes.There are seven bones that make up the tarsus.


What Lies in front of the tarsal bones?

What lies in front of the tarsal bones is the metatarsal.


Where are the tarsals located?

The tarsal region is related to the tarsus. The tarsus is the ankle joint. This region consists of 7 bones.

Are the metatarsals distal to the calcaneous?

No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.

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.
