ExtensionExtension is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck
and trunk, extension refers to movement in the posterior direction.

FlexionBending movement that decreases the angle between two
parts.

Internal rotationInternal rotation (or medial rotation) refers to rotation towards
the axis of the body

External rotationTurning outwardly or away from the midline of the body, such as when a leg is
externally rotated with the toes turned outward or away from the body's midline.

PronationRotation of the hand and forearm so that the palm faces
backwards or downwards.

SupinationTo turn or rotate (the foot) by adduction and inversion so that
the outer edge of the sole bears the body's weight.

Rotation The process of turning around an axis. The head rotates about
the neck.

AgonistA muscle that causes specific movement or possibly several
movements to occur through the process of its own contraction

When a joint can move](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042206/5ea8281e969b08140e7398b3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AntagonistA muscle that acts in opposition to the specific movement
generated by the agonist and is responsible for returning a limb to its initial position.
