The foot...


Basically, the top of your foot is the metatarsal area. The easiest bones to break: 5th distal phalanges and 5th metatarsal. The hardest: 3rd metatarsal. Guess which one I broke last year!

The year before, I chipped my Talus at the corner where it meets the navicular and the calcaneus.

Gosh! I hope to heck I am going to be able to remember all this shit when I have to take anatomy! Man, we have a lot of bones in our feet!

okay, honey... i think you need to get your right/left slippers out... now the one with the bones is the left foot... lily tomlin was referring to the right foot... the top partof the right foot to be exact... kind of like the bottom part is called the ball of the foot, or the arch, or the heel... the bones are on the inside... that's the middle... she's all about the top part... what's that called????

no, that's the WHOLE thing. the top part is now, officially, called:

the flip-flop holder!!!

Imbecillin said...

oh! didn't think about that...wait! that area is called the "special place where the flip-flip piece goes through" or ouch, that rubs!

the tops of our feet hold those straps.
