The carpal joint, between the radius and the cannon of the foreleg.

n. A joint or articulation, as in a grass stem; a bent outgrowth of a root whichrises above water, as in the bald cypress.

the joint of a man's leg, used to bend a boy over so his bottom may be spanked.

the point of junction of the femur and the tibia

An abrupt bend in a stem or tree trunk, or an outgrowth rising from the roots of some swamp-growing trees. Example: bald cypress.

area situated on the anterior surface of the hind leg between the femur above and the tibia and fibula below

hinge joint in the human leg connecting the tibia and fibula with the femur and protected in front by the patella

joint between the femur and tibia in a quadruped; corresponds to the human knee

cloth covering consisting of the part of a trouser leg that covers the knee

The convex portion at the top of a carved cabriole leg.

The second joint of the hind leg. Connects the thigh to the leg. Also known as the stifle.

Part of the leg in a piece of furniture. On a Belter chair it is at the top of the front leg where the leg meets the apron.

The second joint of the leg, connecting the thigh and leg. In animals, more properly called the "hock". The second joint of the foreleg is the elbow.

Joint in the middle part of the leg.

the joint between the upper and lower portions of the human leg.

The knee is a joint which has three parts. The thigh bone (the femur) meets the large shin bone (the tibia) to form the main knee joint. This joint has an inner (medial) and an outer (lateral) compartment. The kneecap (the patella) joins the femur to form a third joint, called the patellofemoral joint. The patella protects the front of the knee joint. See the entire definition of Knee

The upper, convex curve or bulge of a cabriole leg. Sometimes called the hip. (Hey...we're furniture dealers, not anatomists.)

In human anatomy, the knee is the lower extremity joint connecting the femur and the tibia. Since in humans the knee supports nearly the entire weight of the body, it is vulnerable both to acute injury and to the development of osteoarthritis.

Generally heavy members of wood or iron, used to strengthen angular junctions. The interior curvature between the two arms of a wooden knee usually follows the line of a naturally grown crook. These were among the first members to be replaced with iron in composite ship construction. Knees may by defined by location and alignment as follows: the breasthook (also stemlock or forehook) is set horizontally inside and near the head of the stem; a dagger knee is set obliquely; a hanging knee is one set upright with the horizontal arm to the top; a lodge, or lodging knee is set horizontally, usually in the plane of deck beams; a standing knee is set upright with the horizontal arm on the bottom.

Connects two parts roughly at right angles, eg. deck beams to frames
