Where is the patella bone located?

there is a limpid shellfish called a patella cochlea which i assume was named because it resembles the shape of a kneecap

mike, As your cochlea is part of the inner ear , perhaps it is related to health advice . If you shouldn’t put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear, people can try putting their kneecap in

Sarah, I was fascinated to learn this, though from my brief “research” (aka googling), they are born with a sort of cartilage kneecap, which develops into bone over time through ossification. (lol, the patella has long been my favorite bone - I know, I know, I’m a weirdo - so I was delighted to learn this new fact about them. Thank you!)

Some much biology about the body I learned in 10th grade and forgot much of it. I di answer correctly though.

I learned this early in high school.

I was studying anatomy and physiology for a while.

Infants are born without knee caps. They form around 3-5 years of age.

I BROKE MY KNEECAP 2 YEARS AGO AND MY ORTOPEDIST NEVER TOLD MET THAT . HE OPERATED ON IT AND I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WALKING.

Actually, the patella is the round bone most commonly known as a kneecap, but you actually have one in your elbow and ankle as well. So the question is a bit inaccurate...
