The patella (pl.: patellae or patellas), also known as the kneecap, is a flat, rounded triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint. The patella is found in many tetrapods, such as mice, cats, birds and dogs, but not in whales, or most reptiles.
The patella rests in the trochlear, which is found in the distal part of the femur. The patella can dislocate from the groove because of trauma or an unnatural twisting of the knee. [5] When dislocated, the soft tissue layer that the patella rests in is damaged; the patella is forced out of its groove and back into place.

Patella vulgata has been the focus of a range of scientific investigation, as far back as 1935. [4] Its development is well described [5] and it has been the focus of transcriptomic investigation, providing a range of genomic sequence data in this species for analysis. [6] Their teeth are the strongest natural material known.

Smaller words may be easier to fit in the grid, but longer words give more clues to connecting words. [ 10 ] Care must be given to marking out words that are not explicitly placed in the grid; this occurs when one fills in a vertical sequence of horizontal words, or vice versa.
