How do the metatarsals contribute to the foot's ability to bear weight?
Their irregular shape helps them distribute the weight of the body.
The seven bones distribute the weight, so each bone only withstands a fraction of the total body weight.
The bones have additional collagen to help them resist force and twisting.
The bones help create arches that distribute the weight.
