What are these parts of the Skeletal System?
The skeletal system pairs specific bone structures, functions, and movements. For example, connecting "osteocytes" with "mature bone cells" links a cell type to its maturity stage in bone tissue.
Similarly, associating "diaphysis" with "bone shaft" highlights the location and function of this bone region. This exercise enhances knowledge of skeletal anatomy, emphasizing relationships between bone structures and their respective functions or characteristics.
