Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. When the calf bends back toward the thigh, flexion occurs.<\/li>
  2. When a bodybuilder flexes his muscles, he changes the angle of his bones at the joints. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Rotation<\/mark><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    However, a single body part (such as an arm or leg) cannot turn in a complete circle of 360 degrees because doing so would tear tissues such as blood vessels and nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Abduction<\/mark><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
