Question

explain in details the type of movement​

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline{☆Answer→}}}$

Adduction is movement toward the midline of the body, as bringing the fingers and toes together.(Adduction and abduction always refer to movements of the appendicular skeleton). Angular motion is comprised of flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction.

This article will shed some light on the various types of movements in the human body. They will be grouped in pairs of ‘antagonistic actions’ (actions that oppose one another), just like certain muscle groups.

In order to understand fellow medical students and physicians, you need to have an excellent grasp of the anatomical language. This can simultaneously be a blessing and a curse. If you see the glass half full, the language is extremely precise and exact, leaving no room for errors, misinterpretation, or miscommunication. If you see the glass half empty, there is only one specific term that can accurately describe an anatomical structure/movement/relation, which means there are a lot of words that you need to learn in order to become fluent in this language.

Almost every anatomy department in the world naturally focuses its resources on teaching students the names and details of bones, muscles, vessels, nerves, etc. However, the basic concepts of planes, relations, and especially anatomical movements are glanced over in perhaps the first 30 minutes to 1 hour. Planes and relations eventually catch up with students because they are constantly used to relate anatomical structures together, but movements are usually forgotten or poorly understood.

Key facts about the movements in the human body

Flexion

Bending

Extension

Straightening

Abduction

Moving away from the reference axis

Adduction

Bringing closer to the reference axis

Protrusion

Forward

Retrusion

Backward

Elevation

Superiorly to the reference axis

Depression

Inferiorly to the reference axis

Lateral rotation

Rotation away from the midline

Medial rotation

Rotation toward the midline

Pronation

Medial rotation of the radius, resulting in the palm of the hand facing posteriorly (if in anatomical position) or inferiorly (if elbow is flexed)

Supination

Lateral rotation of the radius, resulting in the palm of the hand facing anteriorly (if in anatomical position) or superiorly (if elbow is flexed)

Mnemonic: 'Supinate to the Sun and Pronate to the Plants'

(Supinate: palm towards the Sun, Pronate: palm towards the Plants)

Circumduction

Combination of: flexion, abduction, extension, adduction

Deviation

Ulnar and radial abduction of the wrist

Opposition

Bringing the thumb in contact to a finger

Reposition

Separating the thumb from the digits

Inversion

Plantar side toward the medial plane

Eversion

Plantar side away from the medial plane
