The pads of cartilage in the knee are called menisci (singular: meniscus). There are two menisci in each knee, the medial and lateral meniscus, which serve to cushion the joint, provide stability, and facilitate movement. They help distribute weight and reduce friction between the femur and tibia during activities like walking and running.
