kneecap
The kneecap, also known as the patella, is a thick, circular-triangular bone that protects the knee joint in humans and other animals. It is located in front of the knee joint where the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia) meet. The saddle-shaped kneecap works with the muscles in the front of your thigh to extend your leg so you can kick, run and jump. It also helps to stabilize the knee joint.
