he peripheral nervous system (PNS) is made of 31 pairs of spinal nerves, which have both sensory and motor functions. These spinal nerves innervate specific areas of the body called
dermatomes.
4 classes of bones
long, short, flat, irregular

Freely movable joints, because of the presence of synovial fluid and cartilage, that allow for smooth articulation (movement) between the bone surfaces.
Synovial
Condyloid joints (wrist) allow
flexion, extension, hyperextension
connects bones to bones
ligament
connects muscles to bones
tendons
dysphasia
problems swallowing
aphasia
problems speaking
