Answer 1

The correct answer is Patella

Key Points

The knee cap is called the Patella.
The patella is a small, flat, and circular-triangular bone that articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.
The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body.
It plays a crucial role in knee extension by increasing the leverage that the tendon can exert on the femur by increasing the angle at which it acts.

Additional Information

The Fibula is the smaller of the two bones in the lower leg, the other being the tibia.
The Scapula, or shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).
The Malus is not a bone in the body; it might be confused with the malleus, which is a bone in the middle ear.
The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones, each serving a specific function in the body.
