Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flexion of the elbow occurs in the sagittal plane, which divides the body into left and right halves, allowing movements forward and backward. Supination of the forearm, which is the rotational movement where the palm is turned anteriorly in the anatomical position (or upward when the arm is outstretched), occurs in the transverse plane. This plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts, allowing rotational movements.
