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.
