The toes are distal to the knees. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
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.
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.
A phalanx is a toe bone. Thus a fractured proximal phalanx is a broken toe.
The ankle is proximal to the toe and the toe is distal to the ankle
The "great toe" is the largest toe on the human foot--the one on the right of the left foot and on the left of the right foot. In the US it is more commonly known as your "big toe."
The phalanges, or toe bones, are distal to the metatarsals. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
The skull, ribs, and toe bones are not connected to the knee joint.
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.
a passe is when you touch your toe to the side of your knee.
