Intermediate phalanges are
bones found in the
limbs of most
vertebrates. In humans, they are the bones of the finger and toe which lie in the middle, between the two wrinkly joints. In most other vertebrates, they have a corresponding place in their limbs, whether they be
paw,
wing,
hoof or
fin.
The intermediate phalange is not only intermediate in location, but is also usually intermediate in size among the other phalanges ("finger" bones).
