what are alternate names for tarsal bones?
338631
There are also the cuboid bone, the navicular bone, and the talus.

Good question, but I don't believe there is a "secondary" term for them...sorry

I believe it is the plantaris. You can further investigate at http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leg Hope this is helpful.

Thats a good name, or footjobs, or toejobs. There is also toe-ass-ing, where the partner uses a big toe inside the other's anus. Its very arousing for both.\n\nI've even seen it where one female uses the sole or ball of her feet to rub the vaginal mound (mons veneris) or clit of her lover.

Interesting question. In anatomy, they name structures typically but you are looking for the names to the space outside the body above or around structures. The lumbar region is where you would find the small or hallow of the back and the lateral to the group of bones that forms the tarsus is where the small of the ankle would be located. \n\nThe suprasternal notch is actually part of the sternum and therefore named. The hallows both of the back and the ankle are formed by the articulations or the way several things fit together on the body and therefore not. They are not, in an anatomical sense, specific enough to anything.

There are someting called "Ashinaka" which translated would mean "the middle of the foot."  These were typically made of straw and would only cover the middle portion of the sole with the heels and toes protruding from the front and back.  They were worn to give better traction and gripping power.\n\nBTW...the link works if you take away the last three dots.

Trunk bones? like ribs pelvis, spine?

In humans, again the caudal extension of the spine (also in other hominoids), and potentially the appendix. In other animals, horses have a vestigial second toe, whales have vestigial femurs as do other water mammals and snakes. Orangutans have vestigial thumbs. Old World (African and Asian) monkeys have relatively vestigial tails (they don't do much for balance and they aren't prehensile). And chickens have vestigial genes that when tinkered with have been able to produce teeth :)

Not the tailbone; probably not arm or leg bones- ribs are pretty important, so are the spine and the skull

A foot fracture is a break in any of the bones in the foot.\n\nThe foot is made up of 26 small bones. The tarsus is the name for the 7 bones that make up the hindfoot and the midfoot. The forefoot consists of the 5 metatarsals and the 14 phalanges. There are two phalanges in the big toe and three in each of the remaining toes.\n\nA foot fracture can happen in any foot bone, but metatarsal fractures are the most common.\n\n\nPhalanx Fracture of the Foot\n\n\n\n\n\nCauses\nA foot fracture is caused by trauma to the bone. Trauma includes: \n\nFalls\nBlows\nCollisions\nSevere twists\n\nIn addition, when a bone is subjected to repeated stress over a long period of time, small cracks may form in the bone. These are called stress fractures, and certain bones (metatarsals and the talus) in the foot are particularly susceptible to this type of fracture.\n\nRisk Factors\nA risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease, condition, or injury. \n\nAdvancing age\nDecreased muscle mass\nOsteoporosis\nCertain congenital bone conditions\nParticipating in contact sports\nCertain sports that cause repetitive stress such as running\nViolence\n\nSymptoms\nSymptoms include: \n\nPain, often severe\nBruising and swelling in the injured area\nNumbness in toes or foot\nDecreased range of motion\nInability to walk comfortably (although you may be able to walk)\nA lump or visible deformity over the fracture site\n\nDiagnosis\nThe doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred, and will examine the injured area. The doctor will order x-rays of the foot to confirm the diagnosis.\n\nTreatment\nTreatment will depend on the severity of the injury. Treatment involves: \n\nPutting the pieces of the bone back in place, which may require anesthesia and/or surgery\nKeeping the pieces together while the bone heals itself\n\nNonsurgical Treatment\nIn a less severe foot fracture, the bones can be realigned without surgery. You may only need crutches and flat-bottom shoes to help protect the fracture. Toes may be splinted together by taping to protect the injured toe.\n\nA more serious fracture may require a splint or cast to hold the bones in place. You will need to use crutches to help you walk.\n\nSurgery\nIn certain severe cases, you will need surgery to realign the bones. The doctor may use a small metal plate with screws, screws alone, or pins to hold the bones in place while healing takes place. A cast or splint will be placed on the foot after surgery. You will need to use crutches to help you walk. The doctor will order more x-rays while the bone heals to ensure that the bones have not shifted.\n\nExercises\nWhen your doctor decides you are ready, start lower body range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. You may be referred to a physical therapist to assist you with these exercises. Do not return to sports until your foot is fully healed.\n\nHealing Time\nMetatarsal bones and the phalanges may heal in 3-6 weeks, but the tarsal bones will take 6-10 weeks to heal.\n\nPrevention\nTo prevent foot fractures: \n\nAlways wear well-fitting, supportive athletic shoes when doing physical activity.\nWear proper shoes for each type of activity to protect your feet.\nEat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\nCopyright 1999-2006 \nehc.com All rights reserved. \nTerms & Conditions of Use| \nPrivacy Statement  HUGHSTON ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL\n100 Frist Court\nColumbus,GA31909Telephone: 1-866-HUGHSTON\nFax: (706) 494-2446

Orthopedic surgeon or "orthopod."\nI've found it to be best to use both the western and the alternative approaches for chronic muskuloskeletal pain.
