An example of supination would be turning the hand so the palm is upward, and pronation is turning of the hand so the palm is facing posteriorly.
Pronation derives from prone ... lying down on your face.

Thus pronation is the act of turning face down (e.g. putting your palm down on a table)

Supination is the opposite act.
Supination is a position of either the forearm or foot; in the forearm when the palm faces anteriorly, or faces up while pronation refers to the inward roll of the foot during normal motion and occurs as the outer edge of the heel strikes the ground and the foot rolls inward

What are the differences in anatomy between pronation and supination?

Pronation and supination are movements of the forearm and hand. In pronation, the palm faces downward, while in supination, the palm faces upward. These movements involve rotation of the radius bone around the ulna bone in the forearm.
