Dryer wont heat up

My wifes dryer wont heat up. I pulled off the back cover and when I went to check the continuity on the element this is what I got:

When I touched the leads to the conectors for the heating element it showed continuity.

When I touched the leads to the heating element wire just up from the conectors it showed no continuity (open).

Does this make sense? I am pretty sure it is the element but I just want to order the correct part.

Thanks, Todd
