Interphalangeal joints of foot Interphalangeal joints of foot The interphalangeal joints of the foot are between the phalanges (bones) of the toes. Since the great toe only has two phalanx bones (proximal and distal phalanges), it only has one interphalangeal joint, which is often abbreviated as the "IP joint." The rest of the toes each have three phalanx bones (proximal, middle, and distal phalanges), so they have two interphalangeal joints: the proximal interphalangeal joint between the proximal and middle phalanges (abbreviated "PIP joint") and the distal interphalangeal joint between the middle and distal phalanges (abbreviated "DIP joint"). All interphalangeal joints are ginglymoid (hinge) joints,
History of the horse in the Indian subcontinent "The occurrence of true horse ("Equus caballus" L.) was evidenced by the enamel pattern of the upper and lower cheek and teeth and by the size and form of incisors and phalanges (toe bones).". However, archaeologists like Meadow (1997) disagree, on the grounds that the remains of the "Equus ferus caballus" horse are difficult to distinguish from other equid species such as "Equus asinus" (donkeys) or "Equus hemionus" (onagers). An alleged clay model of a horse has been found in Mohenjo-Daro and an alleged horse figurine in Periano Ghundai in the Indus Valley. Trautmann (1982) thus remarked the supply and
