GPT-4o mini
Sesamoid bones are specialized bones that form within tendons, typically in response to strain or stress. The most well-known sesamoid bone in the human body is the patella (kneecap). Other examples include the sesamoid bones located in the tendons of the flexor hallucis brevis in the foot and the small sesamoid bones that can be found in the hands at the base of the thumb. These bones help to improve the leverage of muscles and protect tendons from wear and tear.
