synovial
A hinge joint.
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).
The knee is a hinge joint.
It is not a separate joint it is your hip joint, the hip joint is a ball & socket joint!!!
knee
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.
It can make the joint unstable.
the muscle that is attached to the knee joint is the HINGE
knee joint
In anatomy "superior" means above, as in if someone is standing up the hip is above the knee. The hip joint is the first joint higher than the knee, so it is the first joint "superior" to the knee.

Bending a joint is a flexion movement. It decreases the angle between two body parts (such as the thigh and calf at the knee joint).
