Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the anatomy of the foot. The tarsal bones are a group of seven bones located in the rear part of the foot (the hindfoot and midfoot). They play a crucial role in foot structure and movement.
Step 2: Identify the names of the tarsal bones. The seven tarsal bones are: Talus, Calcaneus, Navicular, Cuboid, and the three Cuneiform bones (Medial, Intermediate, and Lateral).
Step 3: Compare the given options to the list of tarsal bones. The options provided are Navicular, Talus, Metatarsal, and Cuboid. Navicular, Talus, and Cuboid are part of the tarsal bones.
Step 4: Recognize that 'Metatarsal' is not a tarsal bone. Metatarsals are a separate group of bones located in the midfoot and forefoot, connecting the tarsal bones to the phalanges (toe bones).
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is 'Metatarsal,' as it is not part of the tarsal bone group.
