The musculoskeletal system includes [[Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology|bones]], [[Joints - Anatomy & Physiology|joints]], [[Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology|cartilage]], [[Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology|muscles]], ligaments and [[Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology|tendons]]. In order to describe anatomical landmarks for example for the purposes of surgery and to be able to describe different directional information, for example when recording the view of a recently taken x-ray, it is necessary to have a way of describing the [[Planes and Axes - Anatomy & Physiology|planes and axes]] that can be applied to the musculoskeletal system to pinpoint a specific anatomical area.
