GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Circumduction is the movement of the limb, hand, or fingers in a circular pattern, using the sequential combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction motions. Adduction/abduction and circumduction take place at the shoulder, hip, wrist, metacarpophalangeal, and metatarsophalangeal joints.

Detailed explanation-2: -Combining flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation into a compound movement is called circumduction (Figure 5). Circumduction can create large or small arcs of movement, large or small circles of movement, large or small ellipses of movement, etc.
