Which of the following is NOT one of the eight most common elements in the Earth's crust?
And the cuboid bone in the distal row of tarsal bones articulates anteriorly with the lateral two metatarsals, and the cuneiform bones articulate anteriorly with the medial three metatarsal bones. Those are the seven tarsal bones.
The metatarsals are the bones that make up the main part of the foot in humans, and part of the leg in large animals or paw in smaller animals. The number of metatarsals are directly related to the mode of locomotion with many larger animals having their digits reduced to two (elk, cow, sheep) or one (horse).t is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion. In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws or nails.
