The bovine has 32 sesamoid bones.
Sesamoid bones in dogs and cats are typically associated with the joint at the base of the digits, known as the metacarpophalangeal joint in the front limbs and metatarsophalangeal joint in the hind limbs. These sesamoid bones help to reduce friction, provide mechanical advantage, and protect the tendons that pass over the joint during movement.
A typical adult dog has around 319 bones. This number can vary slightly depending on the dog's size and breed.
There are two long bones in the stifle joint. The stifle joint is made up of the femur, tibia and patella. The femur and tibia are long bones, and the patella is a sesamoid.
Each vertebrae is one bone in an adult dog.
The bovine has 32 sesamoid bones.

The bones found in tendons are called sesamoid bones. These are small, round bones embedded within a tendon or muscle, often found near joints like the knee or hand. Sesamoid bones help to reduce friction and provide a smooth surface for tendons to glide over.

Sesamoid bones in dogs and cats are typically associated with the joint at the base of the digits, known as the metacarpophalangeal joint in the front limbs and metatarsophalangeal joint in the hind limbs. These sesamoid bones help to reduce friction, provide mechanical advantage, and protect the tendons that pass over the joint during movement.
Sesamoid bones are typically found embedded within the tendons of certain muscles, such as the patella (kneecap) and the sesamoid bones in the tendons of the big toe. They act to protect the tendon and increase its mechanical efficiency.
There are 26 bones in each foot, so there are 52 bones in the human feet together.

There are 206 bones in an adult human skeleton, and there are many classifications, four mainly: Long bones, Short bones, Flat Bones, Irregular Bones. Sometimes a fifth category is added- Sesamoid Bones.
