What are the bones of the toes called?

Answer:
The bones of the visibly independent Toes (or Digits) are called the Phalangees (sig. Phalanx). The are named 1 to 5 starting at the Hallucis (big toe) and ending at the pinky toe. There are three boned in each digit (apart from the hallucis); the Proximal Phalanxe attaches to the Metatarsal of the toe; the Distal Phalanx is the tip of the toe (the one that hase the tow nai over it); the Middle Phalanxe is in between and is the oe mising from the hallucis. The joints between the proximal and middle and the middle and distal phalangees are Synnovial Hinge type and so only alow flextion and extension. The Joints between the metatarsals and the proximal phalangees are Synnovial Condyloid and so also allow some Abduction and Adductiuon. The metatarsals re usually considered to be foot bones but they could also be said to be toe bones. They are long thin bones that lie within the foot and do not appear to be separate from the outside.
