- Bones protect vital organs, produce red blood cells and store minerals.
Common misconception
Mixing up the different body systems and terminology used for each (for example not realising the cardio-respiratory system refers to the heart and lungs).
Ensure pupils understand that muscular means muscles, skeletal means bones, cardio means heart, vascular means blood vessels and respiratory means lungs.
