What does flexion of the elbow cause to angle of the joint?
Flexion causes the angle of the elbow to decrease because you are moving your forearm closer to your bisep therefore the angle decreses. Extension is making the angle bigger for example, straightening you arm, you are extending your arm so that is where the term comes from
What is the medical term meaning decreasing an angle as in bending a joint?
Flexing is the medical term meaning decreasing an angle as in bending a joint.
What joint actions occurring in a lateral raise during the concentric and eccentric phase?
To see eccentric contraction, look at the biceps curl with flexion around the elbow. As you lower a weight, you are working against resistance, letting the joint angle increase to lower that object under your control.The opposite is the concentric contraction were the arm is flexed upward to decrease the angle at the elbow.
The cubital joint is an example of what joint?
Elbow, a hinge joint.
The maximum angle through which a joint can move?
Range of Motion
What is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint?
Flexion is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint
What muscles decrease the angle between the bones of a joint?
Flexors decrease the angles . Extensorsincrease the angles.
When the angle of a joint increases it produces movement Which type of movement is it?
To increase the angle of a joint is extension. To decrease the angle of a joint is flexion. (plato users the answer is A.)
Does extension decrease the angle between two bones?
Flexion decreases the angle between two bones in a joint. Extension increases that angle.
What does the medical term flex mean?
In medical terminology, "flex" refers to the movement of a joint that decreases the angle between two body parts. It is the opposite of extension, which increases the angle between body parts. An example of flexion is bending the elbow or knee.
What does flexion of the elbow cause to angle of the joint?
Flexion causes the angle of the elbow to decrease because you are moving your forearm closer to your bisep therefore the angle decreses. Extension is making the angle bigger for example, straightening you arm, you are extending your arm so that is where the term comes from
What is a shortened distance between bone is called?
In normal anatomy, flexion is the movement that decreases the angle between the bones that form a joint. A pathological decrease within the joint of the distance between two bones may be termed a "loss of joint space."
What is a right angle joint called?
A right angle joint is called a vertex as is with any other angle (yes even straight angles)
What movement does not increase or decrease the angle between bones?
Rotation and supination do not increase or decrease the angle between bones.
Is an angle be negative?
Yes. Sometimes in mathematics, it is useful to have negative angles. You can increase or decrease an angle by 360 degrees (or 2*pi radians) without changing the characteristics of the angle. Thus, for example, an angle of 30 degrees is equivalent to an angle of -330 degrees.
Decreasing the angle of a joint?
Flexion.
What is the medical term meaning decreasing an angle as in bending a joint?
Flexing is the medical term meaning decreasing an angle as in bending a joint.
