Correct option is B
The correct answer is
(b) Patella.
· The
patella, commonly referred to as the
knee cap, is a small, flat, triangular bone located in front of the knee joint.
· It protects the knee and connects the muscles in the front of the thigh to the tibia (shinbone).
· The patella plays a crucial role in knee movement by increasing the leverage of the thigh muscles during extension of the knee, making walking, running, and jumping more efficient.
Additional Knowledge:
·
Fibula: The fibula is one of the two long bones in the lower leg, running parallel to the tibia but not involved in the knee cap.
·
Scapula: The scapula, also known as the shoulder blade, is a bone in the upper back and is unrelated to the knee.
·
Malus: This option is incorrect as
Malus refers to something different and is not a part of the human skeletal system.
