<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The patella articulates with the tibia to form the knee joint. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Patella is called the knee cap and it gives protection to the knee.</em>  Femur is the longest bone in the body and has the function of supporting the weight of the body and enhancing the movement of the legs. <em>The knee joint permits the extension of the lower leg relative to the thigh. </em>

It allows a 120 degree movement unlike other joints that allow lesser freedom of movement. <em>Patella is the part of the femur that articulates with the tibia and forms the knee joint. </em>
