True or False: Flexion increases the angle between two bones; Abduction involves moving a limb away from the midline of the body; Dorsiflexion refers to pointing the toes downward; Protraction moves a body part backward; Supination involves rotating the forearm so that the palm faces upwards; Elevation lowers a body part; Circumduction combines flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction; Pronation refers to rotating the forearm so that the palm faces upward; Lateral rotation involves turning a limb away from the midline of the body; Retraction involves pulling a body part forward.
Understand the Problem
The question is presenting several statements related to human anatomy and movement. It is asking the user to determine whether each statement is true or false based on their knowledge of the definitions and mechanics of body movements.
Answer
1. False, 2. True, 3. False, 4. False, 5. True, 6. False, 7. True, 8. False, 9. True, 10. False
The statements evaluated are as follows: 1. Flexion increases the angle - False. 2. Abduction involves moving a limb away - True. 3. Dorsiflexion points the toes downward - False. 4. Protraction moves a body part backward - False. 5. Supination rotates the palm upwards - True. 6. Elevation lowers a body part - False. 7. Circumduction combines movements - True. 8. Pronation rotates the palm upward - False. 9. Lateral rotation turns a limb away - True. 10. Retraction pulls a body part forward - False.

More Information
Flexion decreases the angle; Dorsiflexion refers to toes up; Protraction moves forward; Elevation raises a part; Pronation rotates palm downward; Retraction pulls backward.
Tips
Common mistakes include confusing flexion with extension and protraction with retraction.
