The fibrocartilaginous articular disk of the temporomandibular joint.<\/p>\n
Crescent-shaped fibrocartilage within a joint, i.e., shock absorbers in the knee. A common knee injury caused by trauma or fast rotation movements.<\/p>\n
A cartilage that acts as a cushion between the opposing surfaces of the knee joint.<\/p>\n
One of two pads of cartilage, the lateral meniscus and medial meniscus, between the femur and tibia in a knee joint.<\/p>\n
Crescent-shaped cartilage found in joints, particularly the knee; often tom in sports injuries (e.g., tom lateral or medial meniscus). Also refers to the curved upper surface of a liquid in a closed space, such as a fluid meniscus in a test tube.<\/p>\n
A crescent-shaped, fibrocartilaginous structure of the knee, acromioclavicular, and temporomandibular, and sternoclavicular joints.<\/p>\n
A disk of loosely attached cartilage that helps protect the joint by absorbing shock and registering pressure against the joint. The knee joints contain menisci.<\/p>\n
A crescent-shaped structure, such as the fibrocartilaginous disk that divides the cavity of a synovial joint.<\/p>\n
A crescentic fibro-cartilage in a joint, such as the cartilages in the knee-joint.<\/p>\n
One of the two curved cartilaginous structures affixed to the upper surface of the tibia. These menisci serve as shock absorbers within the knee joint.<\/p>\n
A tough and flexible cartilaginous formation that partitions a joint cavity, commonly known as a meniscus.<\/p>\n
A moon-shaped piece of cartilage present in various joints. The knee has two of these discs, while the wrist and the jaw’s temporomandibular joints each have one. Ligaments hold the menisci in place, aiding in decreasing friction when the joint moves.<\/p>\n
A structure with a crescent shape.<\/p>\n
A piece of cartilage discovered within a joint.<\/p>\n
A variety of lens.<\/p>\n
The curved surface of liquids in narrow tubes.<\/p>\n
