In whales, phalanges are the bones that make up the digits of their flippers. While they are homologous to the finger bones of land mammals, in whales, these bones contribute to the structure and function of the flippers, aiding in swimming and maneuverability in water. The phalanges are adapted for a streamlined shape, allowing whales to navigate efficiently through their aquatic environment. Overall, they play a crucial role in the whale's locomotion and lifestyle.
