Answer:

Meniscus

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The crescent-shaped structure made up of cartilage present in the knee is called a meniscus.
  • The meniscus helps to protect the knee from injury by providing cushioning and thus, acts as a shock absorber between the thigh and the shin bone.
  • It has a C shaped structure just like a crescent moon.
  • The plural for meniscus is known as menisci.
