Foot Arches and Tarsal Bones

The video tutorial discusses the bones in the human foot, focusing on the tarsal bones. It explains the structure of the foot, including the forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot, and details the seven tarsal bones: calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, and the three cuneiforms. Mnemonics are provided to help memorize these bones. The arrangement of tarsal bones in proximal, intermediate, and distal rows is covered, along with the formation and function of the foot's arches, which act as shock absorbers and protect nerves and vessels.
