foot anatomy:

Bones
The foot is composed of 26 bones, which can be divided into three groups:

1. *Tarsal bones*: 7 bones that form the hindfoot and midfoot.
2. *Metatarsal bones*: 5 long bones that connect the tarsal bones to the phalanges.
3. *Phalanges*: 14 bones that make up the toes.

Joints
The foot contains 33 joints, which provide flexibility and movement:

1. *Ankle joint*: Connects the leg bones (tibia and fibula) to the talus bone.
2. *Subtalar joint*: Connects the talus bone to the calcaneus bone.
3. *Metatarsophalangeal joints*: Connect the metatarsal bones to the phalanges.

Muscles
The foot contains intrinsic and extrinsic muscles:

1. *Intrinsic muscles*: Originate within the foot, such as the flexor digitorum brevis.
2. *Extrinsic muscles*: Originate outside the foot, such as the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.

Tendons and Ligaments
Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to each other:

1. *Achilles tendon*: Connects the calf muscles to the calcaneus bone.
2. *Plantar fascia*: A band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot.

Arches
The foot has three arches:

1. *Medial longitudinal arch*: Runs along the inside of the foot.
2. *Lateral longitudinal arch*: Runs along the outside of the foot.
3. *Transverse arch*: Runs across the foot, perpendicular to the longitudinal arches.

Other Structures
1. *Skin*: Protects the foot from external damage.
2. *Nails*: Protect the tips of the toes.
3. *Sweat glands*: Help regulate body temperature.
