Description
Knee anatomy. Artwork of the internal structure and anatomy of a human knee. This joint is where the thigh bone (femur) articulates with the tibia, the larger of the two lower leg bones. The femur also articulates with the patella (the knee-cap) in this joint. Ligaments hold the bones (white) together, with muscles (red) attaching to the bones via tendons. Cartilage and synovial fluid in the joint and covering the ends of the bones ensure smooth movement. Here, the knee-cap is at left, next to the head of the femur, with the head of the tibia below them.
