Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adduction is the movement of a body part toward the midline of the body. This is the opposite of abduction, which is the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body. Rotation involves movement around an axis, and pronation refers to the rotation of the forearm, so neither of these options fit the description of moving a body part toward the midline of the body.
