1. sesamoid

   A sesamoid is a type of bone that is embedded within a tendon. These bones can be found in various parts of the body, and they serve to protect tendons by reducing friction, as well as redirect muscle forces for better functionality. The most commonly known sesamoid bones are the patella (kneecap) and the bones underneath the base of the big toe.
