This is a picture of my sister's knee to demonstrate the connective tissue found in the knee. Examples of connective tissue are tendons and ligaments, along with the meniscus. Ligaments connect bones to bones; two major ligaments in the knee are the ACL and the MCL. (Both result in devestating injuries if torn.) The meniscus sits between your femur and tibia and basically acts as a cusion. Finally, tendons connect muscle to bone; examples of tendons in the knee are the patellar tendon, and the ilio-tibial band.
