Summary Introduction

To give: Examples of joints that exhibit angular motion.

Concept introduction: Angular motion is one of the motions allowed by the synovial joints, which occurs when the angle between the bones of a joint changes. In other words, angular motion increases or decreases the angle between two bones. There are different types of angular motions such as flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, hyperextension, lateral flexion, and circumduction.
