GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Proximal phalanges (foot) are the largest bones in the toe. They form the base of the toe and are a separate bone from the middle phalanges (the center bones in the toes) and the distal phalanges (the bones at the tip of the toes). They are connected to the metatarsals, or long bones in the feet, by cartilage.

Detailed explanation-2: -The proximal femur includes the head, neck, lesser and greater trochanters, and proximal femoral diaphysis. The internal architecture of the proximal femur is complex, with a series of tension trabeculae, running horizontally, and compression trabeculae, running more vertically (Singh et al. 1970).

Detailed explanation-3: -The phalanges are long bones in the foot located distal to the metatarsals. Like in the hand, each toe consists of three phalanges, which are named the proximal, middle and distal phalanges. However, the hallux (great toe) only has two phalanges, a proximal and a distal one.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proximal Femur: Composed of the head, neck, greater trochanter and lesser trochanter. The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis to create the hip joint. Femoral head: Supported by the neck of the femur.Is a globular form rather more than a hemisphere.
