Answer 2

Flexion and extension involve bending and straightening movements, adduction and abduction involve moving a body part toward or away from the midline of the body, elevation and depression involve raising and lowering movements, and medial and lateral rotation involve inward and outward movements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flexion and Extension:

1. Bending the elbow - Flexion
2. Straightening the knee - Extension

Adduction and Abduction:

1. Bringing the arm towards the midline of the body - Adduction
2. Moving the arm away from the midline of the body - Abduction

Elevation and Depression:

1. Raising the shoulders towards the ears - Elevation
2. Lowering the shoulders back down - Depression

Medial rotation and Lateral rotation:

1. Rotating the leg inward towards the midline of the body - Medial rotation
2. Rotating the leg outward away from the midline of the body - Lateral rotation
