In most two-footed and many four-footed animals, the foot consists of all structures below the ankle joint: heel, arch, digits, and contained bones such as tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges; in mammals that walk on their toes and in hoofed mammals, it includes the terminal parts of one or more digits.
Our robot also demonstrated the use of an extrinsic muscle to deform a foot like a bow with inversion and eversion (a foot consists of many bones acted upon by an extrinsic muscle).
The foot consists of 26 bones and more than 30 articulations enabling three fundamental functions: supporting, shock absorbing, and weight bearing.
Anapest, metrical foot consisting of two short or unstressed syllables followed by one long or stressed syllable.
Dactyl, metrical foot consisting of one long (classical verse) or stressed (English verse) syllable followed by two short, or unstressed, syllables.
The dictionary tells me that a dactyl is "a metrical foot consisting of one long syllable followed by two short ones" and that hexameter means a "line of verse containing six metrical feet".
Trochee, metrical foot consisting of one long syllable (as in classical verse) or stressed syllable (as in English verse) followed by one short or unstressed syllable, as in the word hap´|˘py.
Iamb, metrical foot consisting of one short syllable (as in classical verse) or one unstressed syllable (as in English verse) followed by one long or stressed syllable, as in the word ˘be|cause´.
It was composed of 12,109 lines written in dactylic hexameter (sometimes referred to as "Homeric hexameter")—that is, each line consisted of six feet, or metrical units, and each foot consisted of a dactyl (a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables).
The bones of the human leg, like those of other mammals, consist of a basal segment, the femur (thighbone); an intermediate segment, the tibia (shinbone) and the smaller fibula; and a distal segment, the pes (foot), consisting of tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges (toes).
I was never sure what the Foot consisted of, or who, if anyone, had assumed the role of the Rabbit, but it has to do with a small vacuum flask containing either a deadly, population-wiping serum or a skinny mochaccino to go.
