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.

What is the synovial joint found between the carpals called?
The joints between the carpal bones in the ankles and wrists are known as Gliding Joints (a type of synovial joint). These joints work by allowing the bones to slide over each other, allowing smooth movements in multiple directions.
What do movable joints enable to the body to do?
Movable joints enable the body to make a wide range of movements.
What is the role of synovial fluid in sports movements?
Synovial fluid in the synovial sacs (in bone joints) saves the participating bones in the joints from hurt, injury by acting like pad (buffer) between the articulating bones
What are differences and similarities between different joints?
The overall purpose of a joint is to provide movement . Differing types of joints allow for differing movements; a hinge joint allows motion in one direction whereas a pivot joint allows rotating or twisting motion.
What is the purpose of joints in the human body?
Joints are located where two bones connect. They allow movement and provide mechanical support.
What are the joints between the carpals and tarsals?
Plane or gliding joints that allow sliding or back and forth motion and twisting movements.
What do you call the junctions between bones that are capable of a wide range of movements?
The are called synovial joints.
What tough smooth surface is at the end of bones?
This is the articular cartilage that provides for cushioned and lubricated movements at joints between bones (known as synovial joints)
Intercarpal joints are what kind of joints?
The intercarpal joints are the joints between the carpal bones of the wrist. They are plane synovial joints or gliding joints, meaning that the bones produce movement by gliding over each other.
What are movements of flexion?
Bending of the bone joints
What are gliding joints in body?
the site of junction or union between bones, especially one that allows motion of the bones.
The movements available at fibrous fixed joints?
Only very slight movements are possible at fibrous joints; such as the pubic symphysis which is classified as an amphiarthrotic joint.
How many joints or segments does each grasshopper leg have?
11-12, That's what Wikipedia says anyway on the Insecta page.
Types of joint movements?
There are hinge joints like the knee and elbow, then there are ball and socket joints like the shoulder and hip joints.
What is the synovial joint found between the carpals called?
The joints between the carpal bones in the ankles and wrists are known as Gliding Joints (a type of synovial joint). These joints work by allowing the bones to slide over each other, allowing smooth movements in multiple directions.
What do movable joints enable to the body to do?
Movable joints enable the body to make a wide range of movements.
What type of joint is carpal-carpal?
The joints between the carpal bones in the ankles and wrists are known as Gliding Joints (a type of synovial joint). These joints work by allowing the bones to slide over each other, allowing smooth movements in multiple directions.
