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.
