Definitie & Betekenis van "toe"

What is a "toe"?

A toe is one of the five digits on the foot, located at the end of the foot opposite the heel. It plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and providing support during standing, walking, and running. Each toe consists of bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments that enable movements such as flexion, extension, and gripping. The toes also help with propulsion and shock absorption during walking, distributing the body's weight evenly. Understanding the anatomy and function of the toes is important for proper foot mechanics, stability, and overall lower limb health.
