| The foot of an adult consists of about 26 bones - one eighth of all the bones of the human skeleton. The Sprungbein is pushed on the heel bone, in front of both there is a series of ankle-bones (Kahn-, Cube- and Wedge-bones). If you come to the tiptoes there are the metatarsals and the toebones. |
| The spinal column consists of 24 single and 9 blocked vertebras. The spinal canal formed by spine-segments contains the spinal marrow. Hands an feet of the human body both contain 26 bones. The spinal column, that is located in the trunk of the body, has also 26 vertebras = bones. |
