THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The five metatarsal bones are numbered from one through five, medially to laterally, starting at the hallux (great toe). Each of the metatarsal bones articulates proximally with a tarsal bone and distally to one of the five phalanges of the foot, making the metatarsophalangeal (TMP) joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first metatarsal bone is the bone in the foot just behind the big toe.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -There are four distal tarsals: the lateral cuboid and the three cuneiforms, located medially. The distal tarsals articulate with the metatarsals and also maintain the transverse arch of the foot.
