The kneecap, or
patella, forms the anterior part of the
knee.
Underneath the patella, and along the edges
of the femur and tibia, is the smooth and
slick surface of the articular cartilage.
This tough elastic tissue enables non-abrasive
movement without pain.
The synovium, a membrane that surrounds
the knee, supplies tiny quantities of a
viscous fluid that moisturises the articular
cartilage to keep it smooth and slippery.
The synovium is surrounded by the joint
capsule, a sturdy external cover that shields
and reinforces the knee.
