Examples of sesamoid bones in the body include the kneecap and two small bones in the foot, which are roughly the size of a corn kernel.
These foot bones are located underneath the foot, one on the outer side of the foot and the other near the middle of the foot. They are embedded in the tendon that helps move the big toe.
