Anatomy of the human patella

---

This stock image showcases the anatomy of the human patella, commonly known as the kneecap. The patella is a small, flat, triangular-shaped bone located in front of the knee joint, and serves to protect the knee joint and aid in the functioning of the quadriceps muscles in the thigh. The image provides a detailed view of the structure of the patella, including its articulation with the femur and tibia bones, and the ligaments and tendons that attach to it.
