talus

A proximal tarsal bone resulting from fusion of intermedium and fibulare. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the talus is

A proximal tarsal bone resulting from fusion of intermedium and fibulare. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the talus is

It sits in the lower limb and foot, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the talus connects to

The atlas records 22 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, appendage girdle complex and appendicular skeleton, and 9 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the talus. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as astragaloid bone, astragalus, astragalus bone, major ankle bone, os tarsi tibiale and os trigonum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the talus?

It sits in the lower limb and foot, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the talus connect to?

Part of: anatomical structure, appendage girdle complex, appendicular skeleton, autopod region, hindlimb and hindlimb skeleton, and 6 more.

Is the talus the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
