the insect's foot. The tarsus is a jointed appendage attached to the tibia and often bearing claws and other structures. Typically, the tarsus consists of 1-5 segments or joints which are called tarsomeres. View image

The several-segmented insect foot, just distal to the tibia.

third leg segment, made up of several subsegments.

Greek tarsos = a flat surface; hence the flat part of the foot, and later, the bones of the foot behind the metatarsals, adjective, tarsal.

the middle, elongated foot bones of the hind leg.

(pl: tarsi) the last of the five sections of an insects' leg, i.e. "the foot". The tarsus itself is also divided into five parts.

The penultimate part of the insect leg, distad to the tibia and proximad to the tarsal claws. See also leg segments.

lowest segment of leg, before toes

third leg segment, made up of several short segments

The fifth segment of a leg, attached basally to the tibia and subdivided into tarsomeres.

Tarsus or hock joints: The general category for orthopedic diseases of the hocks joints. The details of the disease have been presented on the GDC evaluation form which went to the owner.

(tar'sus) [Gr. tarsos, a broad, flat surface]. (pl. tarsi) 1. The ankle with its seven bones located between bones of the lower leg and metatarsus. It forms the proximal portion of the foot. It consists of the following bones: calcaneus (os calcis), talus (astragalus), cuboid (os cuboideum), navicular (scaphoid), and first, second, and third cuneiform bones. The talus articulates with the tibia and fibula, the cuboid and cuneiform bones with the metatarsals.

(plural: tarsi ( tar-see): the "foot" of an insect consisting of from 1 to 5 segments attached to the tibia.

This includes the three segments and a claw on the end of the leg. Together, these form the foot.

Part of the leg between the knee and the foot.

Fifth segment of a leg that basally articulates to the tibia and normally consists of three to five subsegments. [drawing

the ankle, including proximal and distal tarsal and the metatarsals.

The 'foot' of the insect: primitively a single segment but now usually divided up into several sub-segments.

a curved plate of dense white fibrous tissue forming supporting structure of the eyelid

Shank or that portion that extends between the toes and the hock.

The tarsus (plural tarsi) is the last segment of a butterfly's (or a moth's) leg. The tarsus has gripping claws and has taste organs, so the insect can grip a flower and determine if it contains a sweet nectar to drink.

the seven bones composing the articulation between the foot and leg, including the talus, calcaneus, navicular bone, cuboid bone, and medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform bones.

Tarsus – also Tarsos (Greek: ); Antiochia on the Cydnus and Juliopolis – is a city in Cilicia, present day Mersin Province, Turkey, located on the mouth of the Tarsus Çay (Cydnus) which empties into the Mediterranean Sea. The population is 216,382 (2000 census).

In tetrapods, the tarsi are the cluster of bones in the foot between the tibia and fibula and the metatarsus. The bones of the tarsus do not belong to individual toes, whereas those of the metatarsus do. The joint between the tibia and fibula and the tarsus is called the ankle.

The tarsi (tarsal plates) are two thin, elongated plates of dense connective tissue, about 2.5 cm. in length; one is placed in each eyelid, and contributes to its form and support.
