two arches
What are the two arches of the foot?
Longitudinal arch, which has two parts
Transverse arch
distribute body weight over the soft and hard tissues of the foot
provide leverage while walking
yield as weight is applied because they are not rigid, and spring back when the weight is lifted, thus storing energy for the next step and helping to absorb shocks
