The list below describes such skeletal movements as normally are possible in particular joints of the human body. Other animals have different degrees of movement at their respective joints; this is because of differences in positions of muscles and because structures peculiar to the bodies of humans and other species block motions unsuited to ...

Flexion and extension are examples of angular motions, in which two axes of a joint are brought closer together or moved further apart.
