1. Where in the body would you find the meniscus?
B) KNEE
The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that provides a cushion between your femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). Meniscus tears are among the most common knee injuries. The meniscus can be torn during activities that cause direct contact or pressure from a forced twist or rotation. A sudden pivot or turn, deep squatting, or heavy lifting can lead to injury. Many athletes are at risk for a meniscus tear.
