There are three bones around the knee which play a significant role in all such activities which are femur, tibia and patella. All these bones are covered by smooth substance called articular cartilage which allows smooth gliding of the bones. The remaining portion of knee is covered by the synovial membranes which emits synovial fluid which lubricates the joint.
