Definition for Patella
The term "Patella" refers to a small, flat, triangular bone that is commonly known as the kneecap. Found in the front of the knee, this bone plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the knee joint. The patella acts as a protective shield for the knee joint and provides leverage to the thigh muscles for effective leg movement. Connected to the thighbone (femur) and the shinbone (tibia) by ligaments and tendons, the patella enables smooth and stable movements, such as walking, running, and jumping, while also distributing forces evenly across the knee joint. Its distinctive shape and position make the patella a key component of the human skeletal system.
