Knee ligaments, artwork C013 / 4662
Knee ligaments. Computer artwork of a posterior view of the knee (left), showing some of the ligaments (white), membranes and other connective tissues forming this joint. At top is the lower end of the femur (thigh bone). At bottom are the upper ends of the fibula (left) and tibia (right), the two lower leg bones. At centre is the oblique popliteal ligament, which connects the femur and tibia. Within this ligament are holes through which nerves and blood vessels pass. This ligament is an extracapsular one (located outside the knee capsule). One of the thigh muscles is shown (semi-transparent). The right knee is at right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of knee ligaments and connective tissues that form this vital joint in the human body. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a posterior view of the knee, allowing us to appreciate the complexity and beauty of its anatomical structure. The white ligaments stand out against the background, highlighting their importance in providing stability and support to the knee joint. Surrounding them are membranes and other connective tissues that contribute to the overall functionality of this remarkable joint. At the top, we can observe the lower end of the femur, or thigh bone, while at the bottom, we see both ends of the fibula and tibia – two crucial bones in our lower leg. The centerpiece is none other than the oblique popliteal ligament which connects these bones together. Within this ligament lie tiny holes through which nerves and blood vessels pass. Additionally, a semi-transparent depiction of one thigh muscle adds depth to this visual representation. This artwork not only emphasizes biological detail but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in understanding how our musculoskeletal system functions. Overall, this stunning image provides a comprehensive view from behind on various components such as cartilage, tendons, muscles, bones, joints and ligaments that make up our knees - reminding us just how incredible our bodies truly are.
