Match the term with the definition: Supination: i) Rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces forward Pronation: k) Turning the bone inward towards the center line Flexion: d) decreasing the angle of a joint Extension: h) Increasing the angle of a joint Circumduction: c) Movement in which one end of the appendage stays stationary while the other makes a circular motion Adduction: j) Movement of a part of the body towards but not crossing the midline Abduction: g) Movement of a part of the bone away from the midline Plantarflexion: a) Extension of the foot so the toes point downward Dorsiflexion: e) Raising the toes as when you swing your foot forward to take a step Medial Rotation: b) Rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces towards the rear Lateral Rotation: f) Turning the bone outwards away from the center line
