What does protraction mean in anatomy terms?
Scapular protraction is moving the scapula (shoulder blade) forward. The opposite is scapular retraction. To "feel" the definition, first try retraction -- pull your shoulders back to squeeze your shoulder blades together as if you're trying to hold a pencil between them. Now do the opposite -- that opposite movement is scapular protraction.
Is moving a body part anteriorly called retraction?
No, moving a body part anteriorly is called protraction. Retraction refers to moving a body part posteriorly.
What is scapular protraction?
Scapular protraction is moving the scapula (shoulder blade) forward. The opposite is scapular retraction. To "feel" the definition, first try retraction -- pull your shoulders back to squeeze your shoulder blades together as if you're trying to hold a pencil between them. Now do the opposite -- that opposite movement is scapular protraction.
Which movement is not associated with the scapula?
The movement of flexion and extension is not directly associated with the scapula. The scapula primarily contributes to movements such as protraction, retraction, elevation, and depression.
The shoulder girdle is responsible for which movements of the scapula?
The shoulder girdle is responsible for movements such as protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, and upward and downward rotation of the scapula.
What are the names of the movements involved with scapula?
protraction, retraction
What's the difference between protraction and retraction?
Protraction of the mandible (jaw bone) is making an under-bite. (protrusion of mandible) Retraction of mandible would be creating an over-bite.

What type of movement can be seen in your clavicles at your acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints by crossing your arms?
When you cross your arms, you may observe protraction and retraction movements at the sternoclavicular joint as the clavicles move forward or backward. At the acromioclavicular joint, there can be elevation and depression movements as the clavicles move up or down slightly.
What axis of motion is the push-up done in?
a push up (shoulder horizontal abduction/adduction, elbow flexion/extension, and scapular retraction/protraction) is done around a vertical axes, in the transverse plane, while lying pronated. The axes of motion change relative to the body so a vertical axes will not always be perpendicular to the ground but more importantly traverse through the body from head to toe regardless of the body's relative position to earth.
Y axis and x axis plane?
x axis is on horizontal plane and y axis is on vertical plane.
What type of actions use skeletal?
There are many: extension, flexion, supination, pronation, abduction, adduction, lateral rotation, medial rotation, circumduction, elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, inversion, eversion, and opposition.
Does the complex plane have a horizontal axis called the real axis?
Yes, in a complex plane, the horizontal axis is the real axis, and the vertical axis is the imaginary axis.
