What are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges?
The long hand bones proximal to the phalanges are the metacarpals. They articulate with the carpals of the wrist at one end and the phalanges of the fingers at the other end. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand.
There are how many phalanges of the pollex?
The pollex is the thumb and it has only 2 phalanges, the distal and the proximal. all of the other fingers have a distal, middle and proximal.
What does the phalanges articulate with?
It depends on the phalanges in question. The distal phalanges in the four fingers and toes articulate with the intermediate phalanges. The intermediate phalanges articulate with the proximal phalanges and the proximal phalanges articulate with the metacarpals of the hand and the metatarsals of the toes. The same is true for the thumb and big toe except that neither one has an intermediate phalanges.
Are the phalanges distal to the metatarsals?
The phalanges, or toe bones, are distal to the metatarsals. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.

Where are the phalanges located in a human body?
Phalanges are located in the fingers and toes of a human body. They are the small bones that make up the digits, with each finger having three phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal) and each toe having two phalanges (proximal and distal).
How many phalanges are in a human thumb?

How many segments do the phalanges of the big toe have?

What are the muscles called which are attached to your phalanges?
