- 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 are two types of movement?
rotation and translation
In what ways are the types of muscle tissue alike?
The types of muscle tissue are alike in that they are all composed of muscle fibers that contract and generate force to produce movement in the body.
Give examples of three types of muscles?
Skeletal muscle: Found attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement. Cardiac muscle: Found in the heart and responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements like peristalsis.
What features do all muscle cells have?
All muscle cells have the ability to contract, allowing movement. They contain specialized structures called myofibrils, which are responsible for muscle contractions. Muscle cells also have a large number of mitochondria to provide energy for muscle function.
What tissue is responsible for movement?
cerebellum directing the muscles
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 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.
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.
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 type of tissue is associated with movemnet?
Muscle tissue is primarily associated with movement. It is classified into three types: skeletal muscle, which enables voluntary movements; smooth muscle, found in internal organs and responsible for involuntary movements; and cardiac muscle, which makes up the heart and contracts involuntarily to pump blood. Together, these types of muscle tissue facilitate various forms of movement in the body.
What tissues can be voluntary or involuntary in its action?
Skeletal muscle tissue is primarily voluntary, as it is under conscious control, allowing for movement of the skeleton. In contrast, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle tissues are involuntary; cardiac muscle, found in the heart, contracts rhythmically without conscious effort, while smooth muscle, located in organs such as the intestines and blood vessels, functions automatically to regulate bodily processes. Some types of muscle can exhibit both voluntary and involuntary characteristics under certain conditions, but generally, skeletal muscle is the only voluntary type.
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.
