What is the possible movement at the elbow joint?
flexion and extension
What movement does your elbow make by bending?
Flexion when you pull your forearm towards your body and extension when you extend it away from your body.
Is seated rows a flexion or extension?
flexion
What kind of muscle not responsible for flexion or extension of the arm?
Which of these muscles is not responsible for flexion or extension of the arm?
Actions brought about by flexion and extension?
These terms used in physiology refer to actions that occur at a joint in the body. Flexion usually refers to the part away from the body being brought toward the midline of the body while extension usually refers to the part away from the body being moved away. As an example when the hand is brought toward the face, flexion occurs at the elbow and when the hand is moved away from the face, extension occurs at the elbow.
Elbow flexion and extension occur in which plane?
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.

EXTENSION
What are the six primary movements that occcur at the joints between body segments?
The six primary movements that occur at the joints between body segments are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, and circumduction. Flexion is the bending movement that decreases the angle between body parts, while extension is the opposite movement that increases the angle. Abduction is the movement away from the midline of the body, while adduction is the movement toward the midline. Rotation involves the turning or twisting movement, and circumduction is a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction that creates a circular movement.
