yes because it allows the arm to move back and forth, like a door hinge
The elbow is a hinge joint.
The elbow joint is a hinge joint.
Flexion is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint
to pull the muscles together EX.take your arm arm and put you hand aganst your shoulder you are flexing
Bending the trunk forward at the intervertebral discs is an example of flexion, which is a movement that decreases the angle between body parts at a joint.
Flexion movement in the human body is demonstrated when a joint bends, decreasing the angle between two body parts. For example, when you bend your elbow to bring your hand closer to your shoulder, that is an example of flexion movement.
Simply stated, flexion is when the angle around a joint is decreased from it's normal position (from the anatomical position) in the SAGITTAL plane. The sagittal plane is an imaginary line that splits your body into left and right pieces. All flexion moves in this plane. Ex. Flexion of the bicep requires you to pull your forearm (decrease the angle) toward your head. That motion running along the side of your body is also in the sagittal plane
False
True
Flexion is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint
Examples of flexion in the human body include bending the elbow, bending the knee, and bringing the chin towards the chest.
Some examples of movements that involve flexion and extension include bending and straightening the elbow, bending and straightening the knee, and bending forward and backward at the waist.
flexion and extension
Flexion when you pull your forearm towards your body and extension when you extend it away from your body.
Flexion (same as bending) at the elbow joint (between the humerus and the radius and ulna) is mainly achieved by the Brachialis Muscle. This is not the answer most would expect as everyone knows the Biceps Brachii (Biceps of the arm) are what flexes this joint. In fact the biceps does both supination and flexion of the elbow because its insertion is on the radius. Only when the forearm is supinated, the biceps is able to assist the deeper and more powerful brachialis muscle with the flexion of the elbow.

Flexion (noun) = the action of bending or the condition of being bent, especially the bending of a limb or joint. "flexion of the fingers"
Forward bending or flexion, backward bending or extension. Side to side bending or lateral flexion and rotation.
