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: Recall basic definitions of body movements.
- Flexion decreases the angle of a joint, bringing two bones closer together.
- Extension increases the angle of a joint or distance between two bones.
- Abduction means moving a limb away from the midline of the body.
- Adduction means moving a limb toward the midline of the body.
Step 2: Match correctly.
- (A) Flexion → III (Decreases angle of joint, bones close together).
- (B) Extension → IV (Increases angle or distance between bones).
- (C) Abduction → I (Moving limb away from midline).
- (D) Adduction → II (Movement of limb towards midline).
Step 3: Analyze the given options.
- (A) A - II, B - III, C - IV, D - I: Incorrect matching.
- (B) A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II: Correct matching.
- (C) A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV: Incorrect, mismatched.
- (D) A - IV, B - III, C - II, D - I: Wrong, abduction and adduction swapped.
Step 4: Conclusion.
The correct match is Flexion → III, Extension → IV, Abduction → I, Adduction → II.
