Question 2 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A
The knee contains crescent-shaped pads of fibrocartilage called menisci, which help cushion and stabilize the joint. It also consists of multiple articulations: the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral joint. The knee is a modified hinge joint, not an ellipsoidal joint, and its movement is more limited than that of joints with a wide range of motion.
