The big toe is on the ____ side of the foot.
A
medial
B
lateral
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Medial is an anatomical term, referring to the location of the big toe on the body. If you were to draw a line directly down the middle of a human body lengthwise, this line would be on the medial plane. The big toe is the closest of the toes to this medial plane, which is why we call it a medial toe.

Detailed explanation-2: -The medial longitudinal arch is formed by specific structures that allow the foot to function effectively. The medial arch is composed of the first three metatarsals, three cuneiforms, navicular, talus, and calcaneus bones of the foot. The calcaneus and talus articulate at the subtalar joint to form the hindfoot.

Detailed explanation-3: -The big toe is one of five digits located on the front of the foot. It is officially known as the hallux. It is the innermost toe of tetrapods (animals that have four limbs) and is counted as digit number one.
