The patella is found in which part of the human body?
Correct answer: Leg
Bird Brain 007
Dislocated mine in my early 20's.
I definitely know what a patella is.
Worst pain I've ever experienced and I've hurt myself a lot over the years.

My knees dislocate. I had reconstructive surgery on my
left knee but wear a brace on my right cuz it’s not bad enuf for surgery. And yes it is the worst pain there is when it dislocates. I’ve put it bac in myself many times. Two times I’ve got hit by a dog that knocks it out.

I think that a whale is a poor example to use as not having a kneecap, or patella, seeing as how they don't have legs/ knees in the 1st place
Artie
I would hope so since it's your knee cap.

Visual pictures are better for me than word descriptions to understand things. I would love to be able to take a class where a skeleton can show all the parts of the body and the instructor explains things.

Bird Brain 007, I knew immediately. It’s the kneecap. How do I know? In 2020 I smashed mine in an accident!!!

I knew this because I hurt my knee and told he doctor that my “patella and gastrocnemius hurt.” Those are parts of the leg.

Which mine are both bad until I had corrective surgery. Now they’re much better!
