Body Structure Map

This session moves from internal organs to the musculoskeletal system and skin. The structures involved are bones, joints, muscles, vertebrae, and skin.

Bones provide rigid structure. Joints are places where bones meet. Muscles pull on structures to create movement. The vertebrae are the bones of the spinal column. Skin covers and protects the body.

Keep two similar sounds separate:

• my/o means muscle.
• myel/o means spinal cord or bone marrow.

One extra syllable can move the meaning to a different system.
