Summary Introduction
To review:
Differences between flexion and extension.
Introduction:
Different joints of the body help in the movement of different body parts. Different joints have a different kind of movements. Synovial joints help the body parts to move in a plane. Movements such as extension, flexion, abduction, adduction, circumduction, and rotation are induced by synovial joint. Flexion and extension are two opposite movement of the body parts.
