Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of motion described is gliding, which occurs when relatively flat bone surfaces move back and forth and from side to side with respect to one another. Flexion and extension involve bending and straightening movements, respectively, typically occurring at a joint. Circumduction involves a circular motion, typically at the shoulder or hip joint. Hyperextension involves excessive extension of a joint beyond its normal range of motion.
