Question

Match the LIST-I (Body Movements) with LIST-II (Description): 
\[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{LIST I (Body Movements)} & \textbf{LIST II (Description)} \\ \hline A. \ \text{Flexion} & I. \ \text{Moving a limb away from the mid-line, or median plane of the body} \\ B. \ \text{Extension} & II. \ \text{Movement of a limb towards the body midline} \\ C. \ \text{Abduction} & III. \ \text{Movement that decreases the angle of joint and brings two bones close together} \\ D. \ \text{Adduction} & IV. \ \text{Movement that increases the angle or distance between two bones of the body} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 
 

• A. A - II, B - III, C - IV, D - I
• B. A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II
• C. A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV
• D. A - IV, B - III, C - II, D - I

Hint:

Flexion = bending (decreasing angle), Extension = straightening (increasing angle), Abduction = away from midline, Adduction = towards midline.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Define body movements.
- Flexion: Joint angle decrease, bringing bones closer.
- Extension: Joint angle or bone distance increase.
- Abduction: Limb movement away from body midline.
- Adduction: Limb movement towards body midline.
Step 2: Match definitions.
- (A) Flexion → III (Decreases joint angle, bones closer).
- (B) Extension → IV (Increases joint angle or bone distance).
- (C) Abduction → I (Limb away from midline).
- (D) Adduction → II (Limb towards midline).
Step 3: Evaluate options.
- (A) A - II, B - III, C - IV, D - I: Incorrect.
- (B) A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II: Correct.
- (C) A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV: Incorrect.
- (D) A - IV, B - III, C - II, D - I: Incorrect (abduction/adduction swapped).
Step 4: Conclusion.
Correct pairing: Flexion - III, Extension - IV, Abduction - I, Adduction - II.
