Final answer:
Digits/toes consist of bones called phalanges, with each toe having three phalanges, except the big toe, which has two. The correct answer is: a) Phalanges.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bones that make up the digits or toes are called the phalanges. Each toe has three phalanges: the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges, except for the big toe which has only two, the proximal and distal. The phalanges are part of the skeletal structure of the foot, linking to the metatarsals, which form the anterior part of the foot. The metatarsals serve as a connection between the tarsals (bones of the ankle) and the phalanges of the toes. The five metatarsals are numbered 1 through 5, with the first being the thickest and the second the longest. When referring to the proper anatomy of digits/toes, the correct answer is: a) Phalanges.
