What does "rotation" involve in terms of bodily movement?

Revolving a bone around its axis
Moving two bones away from each other
Turning inward
Collapsing a bone on itself

The correct answer is: Revolving a bone around its axis

Rotation refers specifically to the movement of a bone around its own axis. In this context, it can describe how a limb or joint can twist or turn. For example, the rotation of the head occurs when it turns from side to side, and the rotation of the arms happens when they move in a circular motion around the shoulder joint. This type of movement is essential in various activities, including sports, dancing, and even simple actions like turning to look over one's shoulder. The other options refer to different types of movements. Moving two bones away from each other describes abduction, while turning inward would typically refer to movements such as medial rotation. Collapsing a bone on itself does not correspond to a recognized anatomical movement. Therefore, the correct understanding of "rotation" is reflected accurately in the answer choice provided.
