Bovine : relating to cattle.
i.e in Late Latin [bovinus] means cow or ox.
Sesamoid bones are small more or less rounded masses embedded in certain tendons and usually related to joint surfaces. Their functions probably are to modify pressure, to diminish friction, and occasionally to alter the direction of a muscle pull. That they are not developed to meet certain physical requirements in the adult is evidenced by the fact that they are present as cartilaginous nodules in the fetus, and in greater numbers than in the adult. They must be regarded, according to Thilenius, as integral parts of the skeleton phylogenetically inherited. (*66 Physical necessities probably come into play in selecting and in regulating the degree of development of the original cartilaginous nodules. Nevertheless, irregular nodules of bone may appear as the result of intermittent pressure in certain regions, e.g.,the "rider's bone," which is occasionally developed in the Adductor muscles of the thigh.
Sesamoid bones often throw off the count of a person's individual bones, because they can appear anywhere. These smooth, round bones often form in the knuckles of the hand. The largest and most well-known of these is the patella, or kneecap, which is formed inside the quadriceps femoris tendon.
The bovine has 32 sesamoid bones.
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.
There are five main types of bones in the human skeleton: long bones (e.g. femur), short bones (e.g. carpals), flat bones (e.g. skull bones), irregular bones (e.g. vertebrae), and sesamoid bones (e.g. patella). Each type serves specific functions in the body's structure and support.
There's 206 bones in the human skeleton.
There are 26 bones in each foot, making a total of 52 bones in the human body, excluding small sesamoid bones.
The skeleton of a goat typically has 189 bones. That is why many dishes made with goat do not contain as much meat as bones.
