Adduction, abduction, flex-ion, extension and circumduction.
gliding movements
The elbow joint has a humeroulnar and humeroradial joint. The humeroulnar joint allows flexion and extension movements, while the humeroradial joint allows for pronation and supination movements.
pivot joint
Gliding Movements
In addition to simple flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) movements, the knee joint is designed to allow for rotation, gliding, and rolling movements.
That is incorrect. The major movements at the knee joint are flexion and extension, as well as a small amount of internal and external rotation. Adduction and abduction are movements commonly associated with the hip joint.
ball and socket joint
The joint between the trapezium bone and the first metacarpal bone is called the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This joint provides mobility and stability to the thumb, allowing for important movements such as opposition and grasping. It is a saddle joint with complex movements that facilitate the thumb's wide range of motion.
Muscles that contract while extending a joint are called extensor muscles, while those that contract during flexing a joint are known as flexor muscles. These movements are collectively referred to as antagonistic movements, where one muscle group (the flexors) acts to bend the joint, while the opposing group (the extensors) acts to straighten it. This coordinated action allows for smooth and controlled movements.
The main function of the groin is to allow for a wide range of motion in the hip joint and facilitate movements such as walking, running, and kicking. It also helps stabilize the pelvis and support the abdominal organs.
the general term for the specific movements of joint surfaces. Normal joint surface movement is necessary to ensure long-term joint integrity. (Joint surface movements are sometimes called joint play motions or component motions). Joint surfaces move with respect to one another by simultaneously (1) rolling, (2) gliding, and (3) spinning.
