True or false in pivot joint we can move in all direction but till A certain distance |
|
Answer» True. Pivot joints allow for rotation, which can be external (for EXAMPLE when rotating an arm outward), or internal (as in rotating an arm inward). When rotating the forearm, these movements are typically called pronation and supination. In the STANDARD anatomical position, the forearms are supinated, which means that the PALMS are facing forward, and the thumbs are pointing away from the body. In contrast, a forearm in pronation WOULD have the palm facing backward and the thumb would be closer to the body, pointing MEDIALLY. |
