Childs foot, X-ray
Childs foot. Coloured X-ray of the healthy right foot of an eight year old boy. The toes are made up of the phalanx bones (phalanges), two for the big toe (lower right) and three for the others. Metatarsal bones in the mid-foot (lower centre) link the phalanges to the tarsal bones. The tarsal bones include the calcaneus bone (heel, upper left). These bones articulate with the lower leg bones (top right) to form the ankle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures the essence of a healthy right foot belonging to an eight-year-old boy. The child's foot is beautifully depicted through a colored X-ray, showcasing the intricate bones that make up this vital part of our anatomy. The image reveals the phalanx bones, which form the structure of the toes. Two phalanges are dedicated to supporting the big toe, while three others provide stability for the remaining toes. Connecting these phalanges to the tarsal bones in the mid-foot are metatarsals, creating a seamless link between different parts of our feet. One prominent bone visible in this X-ray is the calcaneus bone or heel, located at the upper left corner of this illustration. These tarsal bones articulate with those in our lower leg (seen at top right), forming what we commonly refer to as our ankle joint. This visual representation not only showcases human anatomy but also highlights how all these components work together harmoniously within our bodies. It serves as a reminder of both complexity and beauty found within us. Captured by Science Photo Library, this print offers an opportunity for viewers to appreciate and understand more about skeletal structures while admiring their aesthetic appeal.
