Metal Print : Knee joint from front and side, X-ray
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Knee joint from front and side, X-ray
Knee joint from the front (left) and side (right), coloured X-rays. The knee is the largest joint in the human body. It is formed from the articulation of the thigh bone (femur, top) with the shin bone (tibia, larger of the two lower bones). The thinner bone in the lower leg is the fibula. The front of the joint is protected by the kneecap (patella). This is best seen in the side view, where it is just to the left of the base of the femur. The patella is a sesamoid bone, one that is enclosed within a tendon

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a knee joint, captured from both the front and side angles. The vibrant colors in this X-ray image bring to life the complexity of the human body's largest joint. At its core, the knee joint is formed by the meeting point of two vital bones: the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia). A thinner bone known as fibula can be observed in the lower leg region. The front view reveals an essential component for protection - the kneecap or patella. Positioned just to the left of where femur meets tibia, this sesamoid bone is enclosed within a tendon. Its presence becomes more apparent when viewed from this angle. This photograph not only highlights anatomical details but also serves as a diagnostic tool in medical practices. With its radiographic technique, it aids healthcare professionals in identifying any potential issues related to this crucial joint. Whether used for research purposes or educational endeavors, such images provide valuable insights into our biological makeup. Nature enthusiasts, scientists, and students alike will find fascination in exploring this botanical marvel that lies beneath our skin's surface. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual representation that merges artistry with scientific precision through their expertise in capturing these mesmerizing glimpses into our own bodies' inner workings.
