The tarsals are a group of seven bones in the foot that form the rear part of the foot and contribute to its structure and function. They include the talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, and three cuneiform bones. These bones work together to support the weight of the body, facilitate movement, and provide stability during walking and running. The tarsals also play a crucial role in maintaining the arch of the foot, which helps absorb shock and distribute forces during locomotion.
