Anatomy and Physiology -structure of the skeleton BTEC Sport level 3 Unit 1

The video tutorial by Planet PE introduces the BTEC Level 3 Sport course, focusing on Unit 1: Anatomy and Physiology. It begins with an overview of the skeletal system, explaining the axial and appendicular skeletons. Key anatomical terms such as anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, medial, lateral, proximal, and distal are defined to help describe bone locations. The tutorial concludes with practice questions to reinforce learning.
