How many phalanges are in each toe
there is 3 phalanges in each toe except for the first toe(hallux) which only has 2
(14 total)
Where do the metatarsals lie and how many are there for each toe?
They connect and lie between the phalanges and tarsals and there is 1 for each toe.
(5 total)
How many tarsal bones are there?
There are 7 tarsal bones
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd cuneiforms are tarsal bones that lie at the base of the three metatarsals on the medial side of the foot. & the cuboid lies on the lateral side of the foot
These consist of the first row of tarsals
Tibia:
bone on the medial side of the leg; principle weight bearing bone of the leg. The Interosseus membrance connects the tibia with the fibula.
Fibula:
Bone of the leg that is long and slender; located on the lateral side; its main function is to provide for the attachments of muscles.
Arches of the foot help do what?
These help absorb the shock of the bodies weight when it contacts the ground; they dissipate force
Define: Medial Longitudinal Arch of The Foot
The medial border of calcaneous to the distal head of the first metatarsal(includes the calcaneous, talus, navicular, 3 cuneiforms, and the first three metatarsals.) The main supporting ligament is the plantarcalcaneonavicular ligament(spring ligament); this is the area for "flat feet"
Define: Lateral Longitudinal arch of the foot
the lateral border of calcaneous to the 5th metatarsal (includes the calcaneous, cuboid, & 5th metatarsal)
The navicular, talus, and calcaneous represent the
second row of metatarsals
Define: The Anterior Metatarsal arch of the foot
This arch is at the distal head of all 5 metatarsals
Define: The Transverse Arch of the foot
This arch runs across the 1st row of tarsals (cuboid & cuneiforms); it gives protection & increases the foot's mobility
Define - plantar aponeurosis(fascia):
: = Thick white band of fibrous tissue more medial tuberosity of the calcaneous to the proximal heads of the metatarsals; supports the foot against downward forces; this is also the site of plantar fascitis
Joints of the Foot Include:
1. Interphalangeal (IP)
2. Metatarsophalangeal (MTP)
3. Intermetatarsal (IM)
4. Tarsometatarsal
5. Intertarsal
6. Talocrural
The Interphalangeal(IP) Joint:
* Articulations of the phalanges
* 1 on hallux and 2 on others(proximal IP joint and distal IP joint)(PIP & DIP)
*They all have collateral ligaments on the medial & lateral sides and interphalangeal ligaments on the plantar and dorsal surfaces
*Motions include flexion & extension only
The Metatarsophalangeal(MTP) Joint:
*Articulations of the phalanges
*Have collateral ligaments as well as plantar & dorsal metatarsophalangeal ligaments
*movements include flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction
The Intermetatarsal(IM) Joint:
*connects the metatarsals at both the head (transverse metatarsal ligaments) and the base (plantar & dorsal ligaments)
*Shafts of bones connected by interosseous ligaments
The Tarsometatarsal Joints:
*Articulations of the bases of the metatarsals with the tarsal bones
*connected by dorsal & plantar tarsometatarsal ligaments
*movements include flexion, extension, adduction and abduction
The intertarsal Joints:
*articulations between the tarsals
*movements include gliding, flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, inversion, and eversion
* the most important of these joints is the subtalar (an articulation between the talus and calcaneous)
Movements at the subtalar include pronation (combined abduction & eversion) and supination (combined adduction & inversion)
The Talocrural Joint:
*articulation of the tibia, fibula, and talus and is a hinge joint
*movements of the ankle joint are dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
Ligaments surrounding the ankle joint:
---Three Lateral Ligaments---
1. Anterior Talofibular
2. Posterior Talofibular
3. Calcaneofibular

------One Medial Ligaments-----
1. medial or deltoid ligament
What does the anterior talofibular ligament do?
This ligament prevents anterior displacement of the talus
What does the posterior talofibular ligament do?
This ligament prevents posterior displacement of the talus
What does the calcaneofibular ligament do?
This ligament prevents inversion of the calcaneous
What does the Deltoid Ligament Do?
Main Function of this ligament is to prevent eversion of the ankle joint.
*made up of the anterior tibiotalar, posterior tibiotalar, tibionavicular, and tibiocalcaneal ligaments
*2nd strongers ligament in the body
