AI overview

Your knee is the large joint that connects your thigh to your lower leg, made up of connections between three bones that allow you to bend, straighten, and slightly rotate your leg. It's important because it's essential for movement and bearing your body weight, but it's also prone to injury and wear-related problems like osteoarthritis.

膝（ひざ、knee）はヒトなどの動物における脚（足）の関節部の1つで、腿（もも）と脛（すね）を繋ぐ部分である。ヒトの膝の前面を膝頭（ひざがしら）、膝小僧（ひざこぞう）という。後面はひかがみ（膕、引屈）という。膝は足裏以外では接地することが多い部位である。たとえばかかとを挙げ、つま先と膝をついて座る座り方は「」と言い、多くの民族に見られる。つま先を伸ばして足の甲と膝をつくのを正座という。いずれも改まった場、あるいはへりくだった姿勢を示す。這う場合も足裏ではなく膝をつく。転ぶ場合には膝からぶつかることも多い。
