Weird Anatomy: Sesamoid Bones

Let’s get a little weird and talk about the human body, shall we? On this “NASM-CPT Podcast,” host, and NASM Master Instructor, Rick Richey, takes a closer look at sesamoid bones, the small, round bones that are embedded within tendons or muscles. Rick explores some issues accompanied with these tiny bones, including at the base of the big toe, the science and research behind why these painful little setbacks may occur, and a full break down of the largest sesamoid bone in the body, the patella.
