toe bone

Foot finger skeleton

A toe bone is any of the small bones that form the toes, known medically as phalanges.

Each toe except the big toe has three bones; the big toe has two.

The term appears in casual or children's contexts: The toe bone's connected to the foot bone.

In anatomy, phalanx is preferred.
