The foot (plural feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates. It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion. In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws or nails.
The human foot is a strong and complex mechanical structure containing 26 bones, 33 joints (20 of which are actively articulated), and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The joints of the foot are the ankle and subtalar joint and the interphalangeal articulations of the foot.
An anthropometric study of 1197 North American adult Caucasian males (mean age 35.5 years) found that a man's foot length was 26.3 cm with a standard deviation of 1.2 cm.
The foot can be subdivided into the hindfoot, the midfoot, and the forefoot:
The hindfoot is composed of the talus (or ankle bone) and the calcaneus (or heel bone). The two long bones of the lower leg, the tibia and fibula, are connected to the top of the talus to form the ankle. Connected to the talus at the subtalar joint, the calcaneus, the largest bone of the foot, is cushioned inferiorly by a layer of fat.
I'm going upside down
My sixes are nines
Infinities a sideways eight
Don't ask me to grow up
I'm doing just fine
Hard to get it straight
I know there's nothing
I can tell you how to live
Don't feel like talking now
I'd like to meet you
If you made up your mind
Please don't make me wait
I saw a disenchanted
Don't wanna stick my foot in
Don't wanna take the chances
Don't follow blind
I had a teacher
And he started to crash
I came and knocked on sorrow's gate
I picked up pieces
As he laid down the lines
All believers have to wait
And if you ever leave me
Don't walk away just screaming
With your head into the gound
With your head into the gound!
I saw a disenchanted
Don't wanna stick my foot in
Don't wanna take the chances
Don't follow blind
That's wrong
I saw a disenchanted
Don't wanna stick my foot in
Don't wanna take the chances
