Though flexion and extension can occur in a variety of planes depending on the body's position, if you have a body in anatomical position, then all flexion and extension occurs on the sagittal plane.

What is the type of joint found in the knee and elbow?
They are hinge joints. The elbow has only one plane of motion (flexion & extension); however, the knee is considered a "modified hinge" because it has the flexion & extension as well as a rotational (pivot) component as well.
What plane of body motion does trunk flexion occur in?
The Sagittal plane passes through the body front to back, so dividing it into left and right. Movements in this plane are the up and down movements of flexion and extension.
Movements in the transverse plane occur around which axis?
Flexion, Extension and Hyperextension of the Joints
In which plane does hip flexion occur?
Frontal Plane about the anterioposterior axis
What bone is found in your knees and elbows?

Exercise for sagittal plane?
Sagital Plane Exercises are a forward to backward movement or front to back movement. Inverse Crunch Floor to waist Front Squats Knee Flexion and extension Trunk Flexion and Extension Shoulder flexion and extenstion
In which plane does hip flexion occur?
Frontal Plane about the anterioposterior axis
What joint does the elbow form?
The elbow is an uniaxial joint. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.

What is the type of joint at the knee and elbow?
The knee and elbow both are uniaxial joints. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.
What are common angular movements?
Oxford Dictionary of Sports Science and Medicine definition:A movement that increases or decreases the angle between two bones. An angular movement can occur in any plane and includes flexion, filename-extension, abductionadduction-2, and circumduction.Read more: angular-movement
How would you describe the horizontal flexion movements?
A flexion preformed across the horizontal plane.
What plane does finger flexion occur?
Thumb abduction and adduction is in the sagittal plane. However, finger abduction and adduction is in the frontal/coronal plane. Do these movements in the anatomical position and that will help you see that the thumb is not abducting or adducting in the frontal plane rather the sagittal plane.
What plane of body motion does shoulder flexion occur in?
sagitall (side view) just think if you had a video camera on the side of someone you would see movement take place from this view
