What's the term that refers to the loose connective tissue layer that surrounds each individual muscle cell?
What is the endomysium
What are the widest points of the femur and are easily palpated to the knee?

What three bones of a child fuse to form the hip bone of an adult?
What is the ilium, ischium, and pubis;
This process generally completes around 15-25. The best way to think of these bones is as puzzle piece interlocking to create a single structure, this enables the hip to support body weight and provides stability while moving.

What is 3 to 6 years of age; it has a broad superior base and a pointed inferior apex.
When you learn something new, your brain creates new connections between these tiny cells.
What are neurons.
What does the patella do?
The patella protects the knee joint and helps with movement.
What are the names of the prominent knobs on each side of your ankle? What bones contribute to these structures?
What are the medial and lateral malleolus; Medial - is part of the tibia, located on inner side of the ankle; Lateral - is part of the fibula, found on the outer side
These structures help stabilize the ankle joint, like bookends holding a stack of books firmly in place
