Hindge joint
The knee is the largest hinge joint in the human body. It allows for flexion and extension movements, enabling us to walk, run, and perform various activities that involve bending and straightening the leg.
The things on your legs, and the things on you arms!
The knee joint is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension of the leg. It is formed by the articulation between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone), as well as the patella (kneecap).

Your elbow is a hinge joint in your body, as is your knee.
hinge joints that allow movement in one plane, such as bending and straightening.
Yes, the knee is considered a hinge joint because of its ability to primarily move in one plane - flexion and extension - similar to the opening and closing of a hinge.
Anatomically: pivotal hinge jointStructurally: synovial jointFunctionally: uniaxial jointThe knee joint joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two articulations: one between the femur and tibia, and one between the femur and patella. It is the largest and most complicated joint in the human body.The knee is a mobile trocho-ginglymus (i.e. a pivotal hinge joint), which permits flexion and extension as well as a slight medial and lateral rotation.
the muscle that is attached to the knee joint is the HINGE
