What is the medical term meaning movement that is opposite flexion?
Extension is the opposite of flexion.
What is the opposite action from flexion?
The opposite action of flexion is extension. While flexion involves decreasing the angle between two body parts, such as bending a joint, extension involves increasing that angle, effectively straightening the joint. For example, bending the elbow is flexion, while straightening it is extension.
What are examples of reverse muscle action of the human body?

What is the difference between the movements flexion and extension?
Flexion is the movement that decreases the angle between body parts, such as bending the elbow. Extension is the movement that increases the angle between body parts, like straightening the knee. Essentially, flexion brings body parts closer together while extension moves them further apart.
What are the differences between flexion and extension in terms of their impact on the body's range of motion and muscle activation?
Flexion and extension are movements that occur at joints in the body. Flexion decreases the angle between two body parts, while extension increases the angle. Flexion typically decreases the range of motion, while extension increases it. In terms of muscle activation, flexion usually activates muscles on the front side of the body, while extension activates muscles on the back side.
