Knee bones
Knee joint. Computer artwork of a healthy knee joint, seen from the side. The knee is the largest joint in the body. It is formed by the articulation of the femur (thigh bone, upper left) with the tibia (shin bone, lower centre). The smaller fibula (left of tibia) is also seen. The kneecap (patella, upper centre) lies over the lower part of the femur

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a healthy knee joint. With its computer-generated artwork, it offers a detailed side view of this vital structure in our bodies. The knee joint is truly remarkable as it stands as the largest joint within our entire body. The composition reveals the harmonious articulation between the femur, which is our thigh bone located on the upper left, and the tibia, commonly known as our shin bone situated at the lower center. Additionally, we catch a glimpse of another smaller bone called fibula positioned to the left of tibia. Drawing attention towards its center stage position is none other than our kneecap or patella. This small yet significant component rests gracefully over the lower part of femur, completing this complex puzzle that allows us to perform various movements with ease. As an illustration rooted in biology and anatomy, this print provides invaluable insights into how these bones work together seamlessly to support leg movement and maintain stability for everyday activities. It serves as a reminder of both their strength and fragility while highlighting their crucial role in enabling human mobility. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment through their lens by showcasing this stunning representation of knee bones - an artistic testament to both scientific knowledge and aesthetic appreciation for nature's wonders.
