Accepted Answer

Sutural bones, also known as Wormian bones, are small bones that are found between the bones of the skull. They are irregularly shaped and vary in number and size between individuals. Sesamoid bones are small, rounded bones that develop within tendons, while irregular bones have complex shapes that don't fit into other categories. Sagittal and tendon are not types of bones.
