ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A movement of the body part back toward the midline (i.e., to the anatomical position) is known as adduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adduction is the movement of a body part toward the body’s midline. So, if a person has their arms straight out at the shoulders and brings them down to their sides, it is adduction. For fingers or toes, adduction brings the digits toward the center of the hand or foot.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abduction and adduction are terms that refer to certain body motions or movements. Abduction is the opposite of adduction. With abduction, limbs (arms, legs or fingers) are moved away from your body’s midline. Adduction, however, refers to moving your limbs closer to the midline.

Detailed explanation-4: -flexion: The act of bending a joint. The counteraction of extension. adduction: The action by which the parts of the body are drawn toward its axis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Abduction and adduction are angular movement pairs which are possible at ball-and-socket joints as well as at condyloid joints like the wrist and the knuckle joints between the fingers and palms. Abduction takes the body part away from the midline, and adduction brings it back toward the midline of the body.
