Study Notes

Knee Joint

The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone).
The patella (kneecap) functions to increase the mechanical advantage of the quadriceps muscle, allowing for more efficient extension of the knee.

Cartilage and Bones

The thickest cartilage in the body exists in the knee joint, specifically in the articular cartilage that covers the ends of the femur and tibia.
The meniscus, a type of cartilage, rests between the femoral condyles (knob-like structures at the end of the femur) in the knee joint.
The tibiofibular joint, located between the tibia and fibula (outer lower leg bone), is a type of synovial joint.
