In the dog and cat, sesamoid bones are associated with which joint?

Question

A. Joint between proximal and distal rows of carpal bones

B. Joint between carpal bones and metacarpal bones

C. Joint between metacarpal bone and first phalanx

D. Joint between radius and ulna

Answer 1

The answer would be "C" as sesamoid bones are at joints where tendons must go across the joint and be held in place so that the tendon does not slide around when it is under tension.
