Ujjcsontok

Ujjcsontok refers to the bones that make up the fingers and toes in the human and animal anatomy. In humans, each finger has three phalanges: a proximal phalanx, a middle phalanx, and a distal phalanx, with the exception of the thumb which only possesses two: a proximal and a distal phalanx. Similarly, each toe has three phalanges: proximal, middle, and distal, except for the big toe, which has only two. These bones articulate with each other via interphalangeal joints, allowing for a wide range of motion essential for grasping, manipulation, and locomotion. The structure of the ujjcsontok provides both strength and dexterity. The bones are small but robust, designed to withstand the stresses of daily activities. Ligaments and tendons connect these bones, enabling precise control and movement. Injuries to the ujjcsontok, such as fractures or dislocations, are common and can significantly impact an individual's ability to function. Their development and ossification occur over time, with the final fusion of epiphyseal plates typically completed in late adolescence.
