  • Elbow

  • Ankle
  • Shoulder
Explanation

The medial meniscus forms a part of the knee joint in the human body. The knee joint is a complex hinge joint that allows movement and flexibility in the lower limb. It consists of three main components: the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and the patella (kneecap). The medial meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage structure located on the inner side of the knee joint, between the femur and tibia. It acts as a shock absorber, providing stability and cushioning within the knee joint, and assists in reducing friction and distributing forces during movement.
