Structure and function of the skeleton

Physical education

Synovial joint structure and function

Joints and their movements 

Muscles and antagonistic pairs 

This unit will examine the structure and function of both the skeletal and the muscular systems. It includes locating major bones and muscles before defining and analysing what movements are possible at different joints.
