Joints Movement Quiz :
Joint movement refers to the actions at the body’s joints that enable bones to move relative to each other. Key movements include flexion, which decreases the angle between bones (like bending the elbow), and extension, which increases the angle (such as straightening the knee). Abduction moves a limb away from the midline (raising the arm), while adduction brings it back toward the body. Rotation involves turning a bone around its axis (like rotating the head), and circumduction is a circular movement combining various actions, common in joints like the shoulder. These movements are essential for everyday activities and maintaining mobility.
