what type of synovial joint movement will decrease the angle between bones
Types of Movements A. Gliding Movement-Is the simplest kind that can occur at a joint. -One surface moves back and forth and from side to side over another surface without angular or rotary motion. Examples: Joints between carpals and between tarsals. B. Angular Movement-Increases or decreases the angle between bones.Examples are: (i) Flexion-Involves a decrease in the angle between the surfaces of the articulating bones. Examples: Bending the head forward (the joint is between the occipital bone and the atlas); bending the elbow; and bending the knee.ypes of Movements A.
