Question
Chapter 9.5, Problem 12WDYL
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The difference between flexion and extension and the movements involved in circumduction.
Introduction:
The angle between two bones is reduced or increased by angular motion. Many synovial joints can experience these movements. They are divided into the following categories: flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, lateral flexion, and circumduction are all examples of movement.

- An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract.
