Toes
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Toes are the digits of the foot of an animal. Many animal species such as cats walk on their toes, and are described as being digitigrade. Humans, and other animals that walk on the soles of their feet, are plantigrade; unguligrade animals are those that walk on hooves at the tips of their toes.
The toes are, from medial to lateral:
- Big toe (hallux)
- Second toe
- Third toe
- Fourth toe
- Little toe
