What muscle moves a limb away from the body?
When a muscle moves an entire limb away from the body it is an abductor, although there is no single name for all muscles that abduct. If a muscle increases the angle of a joint it is called an extensor. An extensor muscle and an abductor muscle are not to be mistaken. If you reach for something with your hand, without moving your torso, you are extending your elbow (extending your arm would be if you reached upwards from a position when your arm was by your side). On the other hand, abducting your arm would be reaching forward or out to the side.The opposite of abduction is adduction. The correct definition of abduction is the movement of a body part away from your body's center line. Your body's center line is basically an imaginary line extending straight down the middle of your body.

What is a pair of muscles that abduct and adduct called?
Abduction and addiction are two opposite functions, involving movement away from the centre line of the body, and towards the centre line of the body, respectively. When two muscles perform these two opposite functions, and are dependent on each other, they are called an antagonistic pair. This also applies to muscles that flex and extend.

What directional term refers to the anatomical point of a limb to the body?
There are a few terms that doctors use to nagivate around the body. 'superior' = means 'higher' or 'towards the head' 'inferior' = opposite of superior 'caudal' = towards the tail-end 'cranial' = towards the head-end 'medial' = towards the mid-line 'lateral' = away from the mid-line 'superficial' = closer to the surface 'deep' = further away from the surface There are lots of others related to various organs but these are the main ones. Some examples of these words in sentences... your nose is medial and inferior to your eyes. Your mouth is superior to your chin. Your teeth are deep to your lips. Your naval is caudal to your chest.
