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 phalanges are connected to the metatarsals by five metatarsal phalangeal joints at the ball of the foot. The forefoot bears half the bodyâs weight and balances pressure on the ball of the foot. The midfoot has five irregularly shaped tarsal bones, forms the footâs arch, and serves as a shock absorber.
