Anterior to the knee is a specialized bone called the:

Calcaneus
Femur
Patella
Tibia

The correct answer is: Calcaneus

Anterior to the knee is a specialized bone called the patella. The patella, also known as the kneecap, is situated in front of the knee joint and plays a vital role in protecting the knee and providing leverage for the muscles of the thigh. It acts as a shield for the knee joint and assists in the extension of the leg. The calcaneus is actually a bone in the foot, while the femur is the thigh bone and the tibia is the shin bone. However, when considering the bone specifically located in front of the knee joint, the correct answer is the patella.
