Foot

The foot is the lower extremity of the leg that supports the body during standing, walking, and running. It consists of 26 bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, working together to provide balance, shock absorption, and movement. The foot's structure includes the heel, arch, and toes, which help adapt to various surfaces and maintain stability. Proper foot function is essential for overall mobility and posture, and it can be affected by injuries, deformities, or conditions like arthritis. Maintaining foot health involves good footwear, hygiene, and addressing any discomfort promptly.
