Phalanges are the bones that make up the fingers and toes. They are found in the hands, where each finger has three phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal) except for the thumb, which has two. In the feet, each toe also has three phalanges, except for the big toe, which has two. Additionally, phalanges are critical for the functioning of grasping and walking.
