movement in the human body?
A) Raising the arm laterally away from the body
B) Turning the head side to side
C) Bending the elbow to bring the hand closer to the
shoulder
D) Pointing the toes downward
Answer: C) Bending the elbow to bring the hand closer to
the shoulder
Rationale: Flexion is a movement that decreases the angle
between two body parts. In this case, flexion of the elbow
joint reduces the angle between the forearm and the upper
arm.

movement in the human body?
A) Spreading the fingers or toes apart
B) Rotating the forearm so that the palm faces backward
C) Lifting the heel and pointing the toes
D) Straightening the knee or elbow
Answer: A) Spreading the fingers or toes apart
Rationale: Abduction is a movement that moves a body
part away from the midline of the body or limb. In this
case, abduction of the digits increases the distance between
them.
