Open in App
Solution

A knee jerk is a reflexive movement of the leg resulting from a sharp tap on the patellar tendon ((kneecap).

A knee cap also known as the patella is a thick, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.
