Anatomy and Physiology Lectures - Patella Anatomy | Patella Kneecap Bone Review

Patella anatomy video with diagram - Hello, everyone. In this anatomy lesson, I'm going to cover the anatomy of the patella bone, better known as the kneecap. This bone is part of the appendicular skeleton, and anatomists classify this bone as a sesamoid bone. In this video, I'll be looking at the main characteristics of the patella bone, and I'll examine both the anterior (front) view, as well as the posterior (back) view. The key structures you'll need to know for most undergraduate anatomy courses include the following: Anterior side: -Base -Apex -Medial border -Lateral border Posterior side: -Surface for patellar ligament -Lateral facet for lateral condyle of the femur -Medial facet for medial condyle of the femur #patella #anatomy Website: https://www.registerednursern.com/ More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2XMro13dD0&list=UUPyMN8DzkFl2__xnTEiGZ1w Nursing Gear: https://teespring.com/stores/registerednursern Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/registerednursern_com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RegisteredNurseRNs Twitter: https://twitter.com/NursesRN Popular Playlists: NCLEX Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQrdx7rRsKfWtwCDmLHyX2UeHofCIcgo0 Fluid & Electrolytes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQrdx7rRsKfWJSZ9pL8L3Q1dzdlxUzeKv Nursing Skills: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQrdx7rRsKfUhd_qQYEbp0Eab3uUKhgKb
