The medial meniscus and lateral meniscus are specialized structures within the knee. These crescent-shaped shock absorbers between the tibia and femur have an important role in the function and health of the knee.
Specialization of labor is a powerful force in an economy, benefiting small and large businesses alike. Workers produce more when they occupy specialized roles, so businesses can offer higher quality products at lower prices.
Specialization can also refer to production, for example when in a factory an assembly line is organized in a specialized manner rather than producing the entire product at one production station.
