Musculoskeletal System Concepts

Professor Esther Hester and her lab partner Chester introduce the musculoskeletal system, explaining how bones and muscles work together to enable movement. Using a body scanner and a model, they demonstrate the function of joints and muscles. The video concludes with a fun costume segment, reinforcing the learning in a playful manner.
