Joint Movements and Terminology

The video tutorial covers the anatomy and movements of the upper and lower limbs. It explains the joints involved, such as the shoulder, elbow, and wrist for the upper limb, and the hip, knee, and ankle for the lower limb. Key movements like flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, internal and external rotation, protraction, retraction, supination, and pronation are discussed in detail. The tutorial also highlights the importance of understanding these movements for anatomical studies.
