Answer: Phalange

Each foot is a complex arrangement of 26 bones. There are fourteen phalanges, which are the toes, five metatarsals which are the long bones and seven tarsal bones which consist of the calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, and the medial, middle, and lateral cuneiforms.

Answer: Three

The foot, with regards to bones, is divided into three parts: the hindfoot, which consists of two tarsal bones, the talus, and the calcaneus, the midfoot consisting of five tarsal bones, and the forefoot consisting of the metatarsals and the phalanges.

Answer: Malleolus

The bony projection on each side of your ankle is known as the malleolus.

The inside bony projection on your ankle is the medial malleolus.
The outside bony projection on your ankle is the lateral malleolus.
The back of your ankle is the posterior malleolus.

The purpose of the malleolus is related more to the tendon and ligaments that are attached to the bones and which allow the movement of the ankle.

Answer: Tibia

The tibia is the larger bone and is commonly known as the shin bone. The fibula is smaller and commonly known as the rear calf bone. These bones are connected to the foot at the ankle and form the malleolus.

Answer: Patella

The patella, or kneecap, is the small bone at the front of the knee. The patella is a sesamoid bone, which is a bone which is embedded in a muscle or tendon. The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body. The sesamoid acts like a pulley that pulls the tendons over a smooth surface enabling the movement of the knee.
