Is cartilage in your bones?
There is cartilage at the ends of the bones. Some allows for free movement, some for limited movement and some for no movement.
What muscle types permit voluntary movement?
flexion = a decrease in the angle between the anterior surface of articulating bones (e.g. bending your head downwards)extension = an increase in the angle between the the anterior surface of articulating bones (e.g. straightening your head again)hyperextension = continuation of extension beyond anatomical position (e.g. bending your head backwards)abduction = movement of the bone away from the midline (e.g. holding your arm out to the side of your body)adduction = movement of the bone towards the midline (e.g. bringing your arm back down against your side)elevation = movement of a body part upwards (e.g. shrugging your shoulders upwards)depression = movement of a body part downwards (e.g. dropping your shoulders)inversion = movement of the sole of your foot inwards at the ankle (e.g. how the foot turns inwards when you sprain your ankle)eversion = movement of the sole of your foot outwards at the ankledorsiflexion = flexion (see above) of the foot at the ankle joint (i.e bending your foot upwards)plantar flexion = extension (see above) of the foot at the ankle joint (i.e. bending your foot downwards)protraction = movement of the mandible/clavicle forwards parallel to the ground (e.g. that pose that models strike with their shoulders forward)retraction = movement of the the mandible/clavicle backwards parallel to the ground (e.g. straightening your shoulders backwards)supination = movement of the forearm so that palm is facing anteriorly (forwards) or superiorly (upwards)pronation = movement of the forearm so that the palm is facing posteriorly (back) or inferiorly (downwards)
