Answer 1

Answer:

Opposition

Explanation:

Opposition is the type of movement that is only for the hands. Opposition is them movement where you bring your finger/s in contact with your thumb. When you put it back to its anatomical position, which is beside the index finger (pointing finger) this is called reposition.

Retraction occurs in the scapula (Shoulder blades) and mandible (jaw). Dorsiflexion you see that happen in your foot. When you bring your toes closer to the shin. Supination is more on the forearm and foot, where you rotate it so your palms are facing forward (sole facing the other ankle for feet). Flexion is the movement of body parts where you bring them closer to each other at a joint (the angle between the two parts are lessened). Like when you bend your elbows to "flex" muscles.
