Bone that does not articulate with any other bone?
Sesamoid bones are small circular bones that are embedded in a tendon and do not technically articulate with another bone. The biggest sesamoid bone in the body is the patella, also known as the knee cap. Actually its more of a trick question. the only bone that does not come in contact with any other bone in the body is the Hyoid bone. Even though the knee cap and other seasmoid bones don't technically articulate with any other bone they are still within close proximity, most often when this question is asked the answer being looked for is the Hyoid bone.

What happens when the hyoid bone breaks?
I don't think you die when your hyoid bone is broken. I think that if you're dead, a broken hyoid is strongly indicative of strangelation. So, if you're dead and if you have a broken hyoid, you were probably strangled. The hyoid breaking just occurs, but I think that it's suffocation from lack of air that will kill you...not the hyoid bone itself.
Is the patella bone a irregular bone or a flat bone?
The patella bone is classified as a sesamoid bone, which is a type of irregular bone. Sesamoid bones form within tendons where there is high friction and stress, such as the patella within the quadriceps tendon.
