Sesamoid bones are bones embedded in tendons. These small, round bones are commonly found in the tendons of the hands, knees, and feet. Sesamoid bones function to protect tendons from stress and wear. The patella, commonly referred to as the kneecap, is an example of a sesamoid bone.

The knee  -  The patella

The hand  -  Four sesamoid bones can be found in the hand

The foot     - There are two of these unique bones where the first metatarsal bone connects to the big toe. These serve to protect the tendon as it flexes, and also help to keep the toe aligned.

The sesamoid bones on the foot have the same function of the ones all over the body as far as helping allow movement and helping tendons attach.

The hand Sesamoid bones on the hands are not separate bones more like small bumps on the metacarpals that help hold the tendons to the hand that help allow movement.

The patella is commonly referred to as the kneecap. It is a small, freestanding, bone that rests between the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). The femur has a dedicated groove along which the kneecap slides. As a form of protection, both bones also contain cartilage — strong, flexible tissue — in the areas near the patella.

Irregular bones vary in shape and structure and therefore do not fit into any other category (flat, short, long, or sesamoid). They often have a fairly complex shape, which helps protect internal organs. For example, the vertebrae, irregular bones of the vertebral column, protect the spinal cord. The irregular bones of the pelvis (pubis, ilium, and ischium) protect organs in the pelvic cavity.

The ilium (plural ilia) is the uppermost and largest part of the hip bone, and appears in most vertebrates including mammals and birds, but not bony fish. All reptiles have an ilium except snakes, although some snake species have a tiny bone which is considered to be an ilium.

there are flat bones in the skull (occipital, parietal, frontal, nasal, lacrimal, and vomer), the thoracic cage (sternum and ribs), and the pelvis (ilium, ischium, and pubis). The function of flat bones is to protect internal organs such as the brain, heart, and pelvic organs. Flat bones are somewhat flattened, and can provide protection, like a shield; flat bones can also provide large areas of attachment for muscles.

Located at the trunk of the human body this region is connected to the spine in the back of the body by the coccyx and sacrum.  Functions

Transfer of weight from the upper axial skeleton to the lower appendicular components of the skeleton, especially during movement.

Provides attachment for a number of muscles and ligaments used in locomotion.=

Contains and protects the abdominopelvic and pelvic visera.

The rib cage has three important functions: protection, support and respiration. It encloses and protects the heart and lungs. It provides a strong framework onto which the muscles of the shoulder girdle, chest, upper abdomen and back can attach.

# data[].attributes.body
The sternum, or breastbone, is a long, flat, bony plate that forms the most anterior section of the rib cage. The primary function of thesternum is the protection of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels from physical damage. The sternum is made of the manubrium, the gladiolus, and the xiphoid process.

Are as wide as they are long, their primary function is to provide support and stability with little to know movement. located in the wrist and ankles joints.  EX: The carpals in the wrist (scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, hamate, pisiform, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium) and the tarsals in the ankles (calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, lateral cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, and medial cuneiform) are examples of short bones.

They are the 8 small bones that make up the wrist (or carpus) that connects the hand to the forearm. The main roll of the wrist is to facilitate effective positioning of the hand and powerful use of the extensors and flexors of the forearm, and the mobility of individual carpal bones increase the freedom of movements at the wrist.
