knee joint
The knee joint is a complex, load-bearing, hinge type joint in the human body that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). It is one of the largest and most important joints, responsible for supporting the weight of the body and facilitating essential movements such as walking, running, and jumping. The knee joint also includes the knee cap (patella) and is surrounded by a capsule filled with fluid, that helps to lubricate and cushion the joint during movement.
