The human foot is a complex structure made up of 26 bones, including the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges, all working together to support the body and enable movement. Its arches provide shock absorption and balance, while the joints and ligaments allow flexibility for walking, running, and jumping. The foot also serves as the foundation for posture, distributing weight evenly and adapting to various surfaces. This articulated model shows the natural alignment and connections of the bones, offering insight into the intricate mechanics that make the foot both strong and agile.
