Anatomically: pivotal hinge joint
Structurally: synovial joint
Functionally: uniaxial joint
The 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.

What is net joint moment?
Net joint moment refers to the total force acting upon a joint to cause movement. It is the combined result of all individual muscles and their respective moments around a joint, considering both the direction and magnitude of their forces. Net joint moment is an important measure in biomechanics to understand how muscles work together to generate movement.
How many grams of marijuana is in a joint?
You would usually roll between 0.2 and 0.7 grams in a joint. It really depends on the size of your joint and if you mix it with tobacco or not. Really just roll whatever fits in the paper, and if you have too much to smoke light it out and you can use it later. There are some pretty big joints being rolled out there too, like a whole ounce into a joint. It can get a LOT of people stoned and will burn for a really long time.
