Abduction For a single list summarizing all the movements of the body included in this section-see the study page about types of movements at joints. Short definition of Abduction (in the context of a term to describe movement of the body) :Abduction is movement. from the mid-line of the body.hat is, movement of the right arm to the right or movement of the left arm to the left would be abduction of the (right, or left) arm. The word abduction may be used to describe a movement so it could be used in a phrase such as  abduction of the hip is when the femur (upper-leg bone) moves outward to the side .

Synovial joint Example Description; Plane joints (or gliding joint) carpals of the wrist, acromioclavicular joint: These joints allow only gliding or sliding movements, are multi-axial such as the articulation between vertebrae. Hinge joints: elbow (between the humerus and the ulna) These joints act as a door hinge does, allowing flexion and extension in just one plane

- Almost all muscles cross at least one joint (moveable connection between two bones) and cause an action across that joint. The type of movement that results depends upon the nature of the joint. Common types of movement that result from muscle contraction include: Flexion – A movement that decreases the angle between two bones at the joint. Extension – A movement that increases the angle between two bones at the joint. However, if the angle goes past 180o (a straight line) in the direction opposite flexion the movement is called hyperextension. Rotation – Rotation is a movement that results in movement of one bone around its longitudinal axis.

Anatomical Terms of Movement Flexion and extension are movements that occur in the sagittal plane. They refer to increasing and decreasing the angle between two body parts: Flexion refers to a movement that decreases the angle between two body parts. Flexion at the elbow is decreasing the angle between the ulna and the humerus. When the knee flexes, the ankle moves closer to the buttock, and the angle between the femur and tibia gets smaller. Extension refers to a movement that increases the angle between two body parts.

gliding joint ball-and-socket joint a synovial joint in which the rounded or spheroidal surface of one bone (the “ball”) moves within a cup-shaped depression (the “socket”) on another bone, allowing greater freedom of movement than any other type of joint. See illustration. Called also polyaxial or spheroidal joint.inge joint a synovial joint that allows movement in only one plane, forward and backward. Examples are the elbow and the interphalangeal joints of the fingers. The jaw is primarily a hinge joint but it can also move somewhat from side to side.

- The synovial joint, or diarthrosis, is one of the most common joints in mammals. It is also the joint that can be moved the most. This joint gains movement through the contacting point with the surrounding bones, which is common among most of the other joints.he hinge joints are found in the elbow and act in the same manner as a door hinge, which allows the flexing and extending all in one plane. Pivot joints are found in the distal radioulnar joint and the atlanto-axial joint. They allow one bone to rotate another. The wrist joint is referred to as the condyloid joint.

Difference Between Abduction and Adduction Abduction. Adduction is defined as motion that pulls a body part away from the midline of the body. In the case of fingers and toes, spreading the digits away from the centerline of hand or foot is also considered as abduction. Adduction is the movement of digits toward the limb while abduction is the movement of digits away from the limb. • Adduction of wrist is called ulnar deviation, whereas abduction of wrist is called radial deviation.

Anatomical Terms of Movement Abduction and Adduction Abduction and adduction are two terms that are used to describe movements towards or away from the midline of the body. Abduction is a movement away from the midline – just as abducting someone is to take them away.

- Abduction is a movement of a body part away from the median plane of the body (think someone raising their leg or arm away from their side). Adduction is just the opposite, meaning movement of a body part toward the median plane of the body.

Anatomical terms of motion When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, flexion refers to movement in the anterior direction.

Abduction is a movement away from the midline – just as abducting someone is to take them away.For example, abduction of the shoulder raises the arms out to the sides of the body.ateral rotation is a rotating movement away from the midline.

- A person in the Trendelenberg position is lying supine with their head slightly lower than their feet. Abduction is movement away from the midline, or to abduct. Adduction is movement toward the midline, or to add. Flexion is to bend at a joint, or to reduce the angle.

Gliding Joint Click to read more below. A gliding joint, also known as a plane joint or planar joint, is a common type of synovial joint formed between bones that meet at flat or nearly flat articular surfaces.Gliding joints allow the bones to glide past one another in any direction along the plane of the joint – up and down, left and right, and diagonally.nlike most synovial joints, the angle formed between the bones at a gliding joint does not change significantly – just their position relative to one another. The basic structure of synovial joints provides flexibility to gliding joints while limiting their movements in order to prevent injury.

ch 6 anatomy questions -The point of attachment of a muscle to the immovable, or less movable, bone is called the origin. -Flexion is a movement that generally occurs in the sagittal plane and decreases the angle of the joint, bringing the two bones closer together. -Abduction is movement away from the body, which occurs in the coronal plane.

Joint Actions & Planes of Movement Is movement of a body segment away from the midline of the body. Adduction: Is movement of a body segment toward the midline of the body. Circumduction: This is a movement where the joint is the pivot and the body segment moves in a combination of flexion, extension, adduction and abduction. Protraction: This is forward movement of the scapula that results in ‘hunching’ of the shoulders.

- Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. The terminology used, describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the joints.xtension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, extension refers to movement in the posterior direction.

Types of Body Movements Abduction and Adduction. Abduction and adduction motions occur within the coronal plane and involve medial-lateral motions of the limbs, fingers, toes, or thumb. Abduction moves the limb laterally away from the midline of the body, while adduction is the opposing movement that brings the limb toward the body or across the midline.

Anatomical terms of motion For example, bending the elbow, or clenching a hand into a fist, are examples of flexion. When sitting down, the knees are flexed. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, flexion refers to movement in the anterior direction. Flexion of the shoulder or hip refers to movement of the arm or leg forward. Extension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, extension refers to movement in the posterior direction.
