Question
would be metatarsal. the tarsal region is the area closest to where the foot connects to your leg (you can call it your ankle), and it does contain the heel! calcaneal region is specifically the heel and it lies within the tarsal region. the seven bones found in this region of the foot are called tarsals, the heel bone is one of the seven. here is your question: which is the more proximal region? phalanges tarsal rewatch
In anatomy, "proximal" refers to being closer to the center of the body or the point of attachment. The tarsal region is closer to where the foot attaches to the leg compared to the phalanges (toe - bones). So the tarsal region is more proximal.
