Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the human foot: The human foot consists of several bones, including the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges.
Identify the phalanges: Phalanges are the bones in the toes. Each toe has phalanges, similar to the fingers in the hand.
Count the phalanges in each toe: The big toe (hallux) has 2 phalanges, while each of the other four toes has 3 phalanges.
Calculate the total number of phalanges: Multiply the number of phalanges in the four smaller toes by 3 and add the 2 phalanges from the big toe.
Sum the phalanges: Add the phalanges from all toes to find the total number of phalanges in the human foot.
