Sesamoid bones are small more or less rounded masses embedded in certain tendons and usually related to joint surfaces. Their functions probably are to modify pressure, to diminish friction, and occasionally to alter the direction of a muscle pull. That they are not developed to meet certain physical requirements in the adult is evidenced by the fact that they are present as cartilaginous nodules in the foetus, and in greater numbers than in the adult.

Heya,
Answer to your question is:-
-» Sesamoid is a small independent bone developed in a tendon where it passes over an angular structure, specially in the hands and feet.
-» The KNEECAP is a particularly large sesamoid bone.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU:-))
