Description: The phalanges are the 14 bones that make up the toes, with each toe, except the big toe, consisting of three phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal), while the big toe consists of two phalanges (proximal and distal). They contribute to the structure of the toes and provide attachment points for tendons and ligaments, allowing for movement and flexibility in the foot.
