I would suggest explanations that emphasize the origin of the names (e.g.
Latin and Greek) and link them to other words which come from those roots
or at least other body parts which use the same root words.

I would also suggest an emphasis on analogical structures (for example the
hands and feet are very similar and have similar naming for bones -
similarly the legs and arms)

Of course, breaking down by system can help, too (bones vs blood vessels vs
nerves vs muscles)
