The primary goal of this module is: Identify the anatomical structures in the skeletal system; and describe muscular system disorders and diseases, test, procedures and drug categories.

The musculoskeletal system can be broken into 2 systems- the skeletal system and the muscular system.
The skeletal system is comprised of the bones that make up the internal framework of our bodies. The muscular system provides us with movement.
After completing this module, students will be able to:
1. Identify and define the combining forms, prefixes and suffixes introduced in the module.
2. Correctly spell and pronounce medical terms and major anatomical structures relating to the musculoskeletal system.
3. Locate and describe the major organs of the musculoskeletal system and their functions.
4. Correctly place bones in either the axial or the appendicular skeleton.
5. List and describe the components of a long bone.
6. Identify the parts of the synovial joint.
7. Describe the characteristics of the three types of muscle tissue.
8. Use movement terminology correctly.
9. Identify and define musculoskeletal system anatomical terms.
10. Identify and define selected musculoskeletal system pathology terms; diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; and medications.
11. Define selected abbreviations associated with the musculoskeletal system.
