Ligaments (another type of soft tissue) lie along the sides and back of the knee, holding the bones of the knee joint in place. These ligaments work with the muscles, bones and tendons so that you can bend and straighten your knee. Fluid-filled sacs (bursae) cushion the area where skin or tendons glide across bone.The knee also has a lining (synovium) that secretes a clear liquid called synovial fluid.here are three bones in your knee joint. Your thighbone (femur) sits on top of your shinbone (tibia). When you bend or straighten your knee, the rounded end of your thighbone rolls and glides across the relatively flat upper surface of your shinbone.
