Articulating Femur Knee Joint Lateral View Patella Side Thigh Bone Tibia Fibular Collateral Ligament Health Care

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate anatomy of the knee joint in a lateral view. The print beautifully illustrates the complexity and interconnection of various structures within our bodies. At first glance, one can observe the femur, commonly known as the thigh bone, positioned at the top of this composition. It seamlessly articulates with the tibia, or shin bone, located at the bottom. The fibular collateral ligament is another significant feature depicted here; it joins the fibular bone to the femur, ensuring stability and strength in this crucial joint. Additionally, we can see how the biceps brachii tendon attaches muscle to provide further support and functionality. A notable element captured in this artwork is none other than our knee cap or patella situated on its right side. This small yet vital structure plays a pivotal role in protecting our knees during movement and acts as a fulcrum for efficient motion. Overall, this illustration not only serves as an exquisite piece of art but also provides valuable insights into human anatomy. Its detailed representation offers medical professionals and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to appreciate both form and function within our remarkable musculoskeletal system.
