AB Where  does  anatomy  end  and  biomechanics  begin?  In  truth,  there  is  no  answer  because  the  question  itself  is  not  valid.  One  might  as  well  ask,  “Where  does  the  study  of  words  end  and  the  writing  of  compositions  (or  articles,  or  books)  begin?”  or  “Where  does  the  study  of  building  materials  end  and  the  designing  and  erecting  of  buildings  begin?”  Just  as  words  are  the  elements  used  in  all  writing,  whether  creative,  factual,  or  expository,  and  just  as  bricks,  wood,  cement,  metal,  and  glass  are  some  of  the  elements  used  in  building,  so  bones,  joints,  muscles,  connective  tissue,  blood  vessels,  and  nerves  are  the  vital  elements  of  human  motion.  They  are  the  essential  elements  used  in  batting  a  baseball,  passing  and  carrying  a  football,  shooting  a  basketball  into  the  basket—in  fact,  in  all  running,  walking,  jumping,  throwing,  striking,  catching,  and  swimming;  likewise,  one  finds  them  in  keyboarding,  manual  labor,  painting,  sewing,  knitting,  and  so  forth,  almost  without  end.
