Oh, I forgot about this...

I'm only in tenth grade Bio, but I'm deticated to my forensics!

 

phalanges are located on your hands (most distal part) as well as your feet (again, most distal part)

I hate having a technicality to allmaple, again sorry

 

HI all! When I saw allmaples answer, I thought that the phalanges were also on the toes (16 weeks of forensic anthropology will do that to you!) and thought that I might be wrong, but took a chance...

Since I get to demonstrate blood spatter in my next forensic's class on Sat, next question is this:
