1.
abduction: movement away from the midline of the body
2.
adduction: movement toward the midline of the body
3.
dorisflection: increased the angle of the ankle joint so that the foot bends backward (upward). This is the opposite movement of stepping on the gas pedal when driving a car.
4.
extension: increasing the angle between two bones; straightening out a limb
5.
fascia: fibrous membrane separating and enveloping muscles
6.
flexion: decreasing the angle between two bones; bending a limb
7.
insertion of a muscle: connection of muscle to a bone that moves
8.
origin of a muscle: connection of the muscle to a stationary bone
9.
plantar flexion: motion that extends the foot downward toward the ground as when pointing the toes or stepping on the gas pedal.
10.
pronation: as applied to the hand and forearm, the act of turning the palm backward, or down.
11.
rotation: circular movement around the axis (central point). Internal rotation is toward the midline and external rotation is away from the midline
12.
skeletal muscle: muscle connected to bones; voluntary or striated muscle
13.
smooth muscle: muscle connected to internal organs; involuntary or visceral muscle
14.
straited muscle: skeletal muscle
15.
surpination: as applied to the hand and forearm, the act of turning the palm forward, or up.
16.
visceral muscle: smooth muscle.
