What is a human ACL?

The knee joint is located where the end of the thigh bone (femur) meets the top of the shin bone (tibia). The ACL is one of 4 ligaments that stabilize the joint: medial collateral ligament (MCL) runs along the inside of the knee and prevents the knee from bending in, the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) runs along the outside of the knee and prevents the knee from bending out too far, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is in the middle of the knee, it prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) works with the ACL, It prevents the tibia from sliding backwards under the femur.
