Which of these bones aligns with the medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiforms to form the four distal tarsals?

The bone that aligns with the cuneiforms is the cuboid bone. Together they articulate with the metatarsals of the foot.

The cuboid is the most lateral bone in the distal row. He articulates with the calcaneus posteriorly, and the first and second metatarsals anteriorly.

The three cuneiforms articulate with the navicular  bone posteriorly, and the metatarsals anteriorly.

The navicular bone is the only proximal bone to form a joint or joints with the three cuneiform bones of the foot. The cuneiform bones then go on to form joints with the metatarsals. The cuboid bone is a lateral bone in the foot that only creates a joint with the lateral cuneiform and the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones.

answer: carbon 14 can only be used to determine the age of the organisms that were once living, and igneous rocks are non living.

explanation:

carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of the sample by estimating the amount of carbon 14 present in the sample and then comparing it with a reference standard.carbon 14 is a isotope of carbon which is radioactive and unstable. carbon 14 is assimilated by all plants and animals throughout their life from carbon dioxide. however, one the organisms die they stop this assimilation and the carbon 14 content starts to decrease.by knowing how much of carbon 14 is left in an organism after his death, one can estimate the age of the organism. the materials whose age can be estimated by carbon 14 method are the organic compounds. however, some inorganic compounds such as aragonite   shell can also be dated.however, if we consider the igneous rocks it is a non living component which never accumulated carbon 14 in it and thus, we cannot use carbon 14 dating method to estimate its age.

Calcinosis is the diagnostic term that means an abnormal buildup of calcium on the kneecap (patellar) surface. it is a term uses to describe a group of disorders in which calcium deposits form in the skin. it is also referred to the abnormal deposit of calcium phosphate.
