Foot bones anatomy lesson with mnemonic. You have 26 bones in each foot, for a total of 52 bones when you combine both feet.
The foot can be divided into three main portions: 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals, and 14 phalanges.
The toe bones are called phalanges, just like your finger bones. They are named after directional terms (proximal, distal, and middle).
The metatarsals are numbered 1-5, with 1 being on the big toe side, and 5 being on the pinky toe side.
The seven tarsals make up the posterior (heel) region of the foot. Here are the seven bones that make up the tarsus:
-Talus
-Calcaneous
-Navicular
-Medial Cuneiform
-Intermediate Cuneiform
-Lateral Cuneiform
-Cubiod
