Cartilage in the knee between the femoral condyles and the tibia?

I think that would be the meniscus.

What are the proximal end landmarks of the tibia?
The primary proximal end landmarks of the tibia are the lateral and medial condyles. These bumps at the top of the tibia are the site where the tibia articulates with the femur. Between the condyles is the intercondylar area, which is the place where the ligaments of the knee attach. The meniscus attaches in the intercondylar area as well.
What is jelly substance between femur and tibia?
Cartilage
Where are Medial and lateral condyles of the femur involved at?
The medial and lateral condyles of the femur are located in the knee. They articulate with the tibia.
What is the carpal bone the articulates with the tibia and fibula?
medial condyles
Processes on the femur and tibia that form the knee joint?
The medial and lateral condyles, located on the femur and the tibia, form the knee joint. The medial condyle, which is closer to the center of the body, is larger.
What is the major difference between gastrocnemius and the soleus?
The gastrocnemius is biarticulate (crosses both knee and ankle joint) and originates at femur (post femoral condyles), performing both concentric plantar flexion and knee flexion. The soleus originates at the posterior fibular head and the tibia (soleal line), performing only concentric plantarflexion.
Where is the femoral condyle located in the body?
The distal end of the tibia
What anatomical structure acts as a shock absorber and a cushion between the femur and tibia?
The meniscus acts as a shock absorber and cushion between the femur and tibia. It's the cartilage in the knee.
What is the role of the menisci in the knee?
The meniscus is cartilage that covers the top of the tibia (shin bone) and acts as a cushion between the tibia and femur (thigh bone).
What ligament is on the knee area posterior side of femur on tibia?
Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.
Does the shin section of the leg have cartilage?
the tibia is the bone in that section of the leg
What is the only bone that articulates with the tibia and fibula?
The femur articulates with the medial and lateral condyles of the tibia. The femur is the bone commonly known as the thigh bone.
