Circumduction of the arm is a movement that can be described as a circular motion of the arm around the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint. This motion is achieved by combining flexion (raising the arm forward), abduction (moving the arm outward to the side and away from the body's midline), extension (moving the arm backward), and adduction (bringing the arm back to the side). As a result, the hand traces a circular path in the air.💡 Learn anatomy fast at Anatomy.app!🧠 https://anatomy.app #anatomy
