Musculoskeletal System Flashcards

The musculoskeletal system covers how bones, joints, and muscles work together to support and move the body. This deck starts with bone structure and the cells that build and maintain bone, then moves into joints, connective tissue, and the muscles that create movement.

Cards also cover movement terminology, common injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders. Each term includes a clinical note connecting the structure or process to mobility assessment or patient care.
