Ball

Does the word 'ball' carry any meaning connected to the anatomy of the human being? I am asking becuase I read in an excercise book the following: 'push the weight up with the balls of the feet'
  

Top answer

The ***** of the feet are at the forward end of the arch, on the bottom. Each foot has one ball, so to speak. The location is where the toes connect to the rest of the foot.
