Reflexology Foot Anatomy and Zones 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which of the 26 bones of the foot form the arch that reflexologists use to locate abdominal organ reflex points?
- Phalanges
- Metatarsals
- Cuneiforms and cuboid
- Tarsals including navicular, cuneiforms, and cuboid (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Tarsals including navicular, cuneiforms, and cuboid
The tarsals — including the navicular, three cuneiforms, and cuboid — form the midfoot arch that maps to abdominal organs.
Question 2: Zone 1 in foot reflexology runs through which toe?
- Little toe
- Fourth toe
- Second toe
- Big toe (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Big toe
Zone 1 is the innermost zone and runs through the big toe and down through the center of the body.
Question 3: What term describes the horizontal line across the foot that marks the division between the pelvic and abdominal reflex areas?
- Waist line
- Pelvic line (Correct answer)
- Heel line
- Diaphragm line
Correct answer: Pelvic line
The waist line runs across the foot at the midpoint of the arch, separating abdominal from pelvic reflex areas.
Question 4: The outer (lateral) edge of the foot in reflexology corresponds to which side of the body?
- Medial/inner body structures
- Upper body only
- Lateral/outer body structures (Correct answer)
- Posterior structures
Correct answer: Lateral/outer body structures
The lateral (outer) edge of the foot reflects lateral and outer body structures such as the shoulder, hip, and knee.
Question 5: In reflexology, which toe area corresponds to the eye and ear reflex points?
- Big toe
- Second and third toes (Correct answer)
- Fourth and fifth toes
- All toe pads equally
Correct answer: Second and third toes
The second and third toes correspond to the eye reflex, while the fourth and fifth toes correspond to the ear reflex.
Question 6: How many tarsal bones are in the human foot?
- 5
- 7 (Correct answer)
- 14
- 26
Correct answer: 7
There are 7 tarsal bones in the human foot: calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, and three cuneiforms.
