| The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) | lies behind the Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL). |
| Ligaments | connect bone to bone |
| Tendons | connect muscle to bone. |
| Menisci | sit between the femur and the tibia. |
| Menisci | referred to as the cartilages of the knee |
| Menisci | this material is about ¼ of an inch thick in most large joints. |
| Menisci | They work like a gasket |
| Menisci | They help the ligaments with stability of the knee |
| Articular Cartilage | is the material that covers the ends of the bones of any joint |
| Articular Cartilage | white, shiny material, has a rubbery consistency. |
| The function of articular cartilage | is to absorb shock and provide an extremely smooth bearing surface to facilitate motion |
