- 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 ankle
- dorsiflexion = 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)

What features do all muscle cells have?
Muscle cells have several different features that they all share. First off, they all have DNA. Secondly, they are all myofilaments.
What are three types of muscles and their function?
- Skeletal muscle / voluntary (ex.: Brachialis muscle) - Smooth muscle / involuntary (ex.: The three layers of muscles around the stomach) - Cardiac muscle / involuntary (i.e. the myocardium)
What muscle moves bones?
There are three types of muscle in your body: striated, smooth and cardiac. The striated muscle is also called skeletal muscle and it is this type of muscle that moves your joints. Skeletal muscles are attached by tendons to the bones that they act on.
What are two types of movement?
rotation and translation
Give examples of three types of muscles?
Smooth Muscle, Cardiac Muscle, and Skeletal Muscle
What types of muscle is voluntary?
Striated.
What muscle types are voluntary?
Skeletal muscles are the only voluntary muscles
There is only one type of voluntary musclewhich one is it?
Skeletal muscle is voluntary. The two involuntary types are smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.
What features do cell have?
muscle contain special proteins called contractile proteins, they contract and relax to cause movement. Muscles are generally of two types (1) voluntary muscle and (2) involuntary muscle.
What muscles perform voluntary movement?
The voluntary muscles - those used for walking moving and speaking. As opposed to involuntary muscles such as those in your intestine or heart.
Is muscle action be voluntary?
We have three types of muscle tissue; smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. Skeletal muscle tissue is the only one of the three that are voluntary.
What muscle cell types have the following features striated and voluntary?
skeletal muscle
What types of muscle are under voluntary control?
Skeletal muscles, like biceps, are under voluntary control. Smooth muscle, like the diaphragm, and cardiac muscle are involuntary. Thanks for using Answers.com!
What are the two types of body movement in physical education?
In gymnastics, the two types of body movement are translation (displacement) of the body and rotationof the same body.
What happens when a muscle contracts?
when the muscle shortens (contracts), the two bones come closer together, isometric contraction excepted.
How many types of muscles are there in humans?
There are three types of muscles:Skeletal muscle- Muscle of exterior (ex. triceps, biceps)Smooth muscle- Muscle of interior organs (ex. lungs, stomach)Cardiac muscle- Muscle of heart (ex. heart)
What are the 3 different muscle types?
The 3 different types of muscle are smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is located on the walls of hollow organs, cardiac muscle is located on the wall of the heart, and skeletal muscle is located on skeletal muscle organs (most organs). Their functions include movement in walls of hollow organs, pumping of blood, and movement of bones, heat production and posture, respectively. Cardiac and smooth muscle are involuntary, whereas skeletal muscle is voluntary. Both cardiac and skeletal muscles have striations, but smooth muscle does not.
