Foot bones anatomy lesson with mnemonic. You have 26 bones in each foot, for a total of 52 bones when you combine both feet.

The foot can be divided into three main portions: 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals, and 14 phalanges.

The toe bones are called phalanges, just like your finger bones. They are named after directional terms (proximal, distal, and middle).

The metatarsals are numbered 15, with 1 being on the big toe side, and 5 being on the pinky toe side.

The seven tarsals make up the posterior (heel) region of the foot. Here are the seven bones that make up the tarsus:

Talus
Calcaneous
Navicular
Medial Cuneiform
Intermediate Cuneiform
Lateral Cuneiform
Cubiod
