Answer 2

• There are three arches in the foot: two longitudinal arches (medial and lateral) and one anterior transverse arch.
• They are supported by ligaments and tendons in the foot and made by the tarsal and metatarsal bones.
• Because of their form, they can operate like a spring, carrying the body's weight and cushioning the shock caused by movement.
• Walking and running are made easier because to the flexibility provided by these arches.
• The anatomy of the foot arches, including their bony and ligamentous structure, supporting tendons, and clinical correlations, will be discussed in this article.
