How many phalanges are there in each foot?

Each foot contains a total of 14 phalanges. The phalanges are the bones in the toes, and each foot consists of three phalanges for each of the four smaller toes (proximal, middle, and distal) and two phalanges for the big toe (the proximal and distal phalanges). This arrangement accounts for 14 phalanges: 12 from the four smaller toes and 2 from the big toe. Understanding the anatomy of the foot is essential, particularly when studying the skeletal structure and its relevance to movement and stability.
