Answer 1

Patella (kneecap) – rounded, SESAMOID bone, enclosed within the patellar tendon.

Leg- region of the lower limb between the knee and the rounded medial and lateral prominences (medial and lateral malleoli).

Tibia – located on the MEDIAL SIDE of the leg

Smooth indentations, articulate to the condyles of the femur--- FOVEA CAPITIS

Projection located anteriorly and proximally, for attachment of the patellar ligament--- TIBIAL TUBEROSITY

Rounded projection at ankle joint, articulates to the talus of the foot--- MALLEOLUS

Fibula – located on the LATERAL SIDE of the leg
