Answer 1

Answer:

1. Abduction

2. Flexion

Explanation:

Abduction and flexion movements are closely related to the median plane. Both usually occur in the frontal plane and occur around the anteroposterior axis. During abduction you are moving your arm or leg away from the median plane. During bending, you are moving them toward the median plane.

To imagine these movements, just imagine that from a relaxed, upright position, when you raise your arms sideways so that they are straight from your sides to stretch in the morning, the arm movement is called Abduction. When you put your outstretched arms back to your sides and then stretch both hands to rub your eyes, the movement that results in the elbow joint is called flexion.

For the first one the answer is Abduction and the second one is called Flexion. Hope I helped!
