Artwork of bones & ligaments in human knee joint
Knee joint. Illustration showing bones and tendons of the human knee (genual) joint. The knee is the largest joint in the human body. It forms the point of articulation between the upper leg bone (femur, at top) and the two bones of the lower limb (tibia at lower left, fibula at lower right). The articulation surface is formed from condyles (round bone ends) between the femur and tibia. These condyles are covered in cartilage (white) to prevent friction on movement. Ligaments (pink) fix this joint together: a fibular collateral ligament attaches the fibula to femur; cruciate ligaments attach tibia to femur between the condyles. The oval knee cap bone (patella) protects the joint

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of bones and ligaments in a human knee joint. The knee joint, known as the genual joint, is depicted with utmost precision and detail. As the largest joint in the human body, it serves as the crucial point of articulation between the upper leg bone (femur) and the two lower limb bones (tibia and fibula). The artistry beautifully captures the condyles, which are rounded ends of bones found between the femur and tibia. These condyles play a vital role in facilitating movement while being protected by a layer of white cartilage that prevents friction. In this masterpiece, pink ligaments can be seen firmly holding this complex joint together. A fibular collateral ligament connects the fibula to femur while cruciate ligaments attach both tibia and femur between these condyles. Adding to its elegance is an oval-shaped bone called patella or kneecap that acts as a protective shield for this remarkable joint. Science Photo Library has skillfully merged science with art through this print, allowing us to appreciate not only our anatomy but also its aesthetic beauty. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are, showcasing both strength and vulnerability within one frame.
