Arches of foot -
-------------------------
The human foot is supported by three primary arches: the medial longitudinal arch, the lateral longitudinal arch, and the transverse arch. 🦶

These arches are formed by the arrangement of bones, ligaments, and muscles, providing structural support, shock absorption, and flexibility during weight-bearing activities. The medial longitudinal arch runs along the inner side of the foot, from the heel to the ball of the big toe, supported by the calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuneiforms, and metatarsals.
The lateral longitudinal arch spans the outer edge of the foot, involving the calcaneus, cuboid, and metatarsals. The transverse arch runs across the midfoot, formed by the cuneiforms, cuboid, and bases of the metatarsals. These arches collectively distribute body weight, enhance propulsion during walking, and adapt to various surfaces. Understanding the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot arches is crucial for medical exams like FMGE, NEET PG, and USMLE, as it aids in diagnosing and managing conditions such as flat feet (pes planus), high arches (pes cavus), and plantar fasciitis. 📚
