Artwork of bones & ligament in human knee joint
Artwork featuring bones and tendons of the human knee (genual) joint. The single bone of the upper leg (the femur) meets the two smaller bones of the lower limb (the tibia and fibula) at the knee joint. Also visible is the patella, the lens- shaped bone that forms the kneecap. It is located in front of the knee in the tendon of the quadriceps muscle of the thigh

Bones Knee Knee Joint Ligament Patella
EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate details of the bones and ligaments within the human knee joint. The image highlights the meeting point of the upper leg bone, known as the femur, with two smaller bones in the lower limb called tibia and fibula. At this pivotal junction, we can observe how these skeletal structures come together to form a complex network that enables movement and stability. One prominent feature depicted in this artwork is the patella, commonly referred to as the kneecap. Positioned in front of the knee within the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, it assumes a lens-like shape. Its presence serves both functional and protective purposes for our knees during various physical activities. Through this mesmerizing print from Science Photo Library, we gain a deeper understanding of human anatomy by exploring one of its essential components – our knees. This visual representation allows us to appreciate not only their structural complexity but also their vital role in supporting our body's movements. Whether you are an enthusiast seeking knowledge about skeletal systems or simply fascinated by art that merges science with creativity, this artwork offers a unique perspective on bone structure and ligament arrangement within our genual joint (knee).
