Shania Smith · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Hyperextension is the movement of a joint beyond its normal anatomical position, and bending the head back beyond its normal position falls under this category. Circumduction is a circular movement of a body part, flexion is the movement of a joint that decreases the angle between two bones, and extension is the opposite movement that increases the angle between two bones. None of these accurately describe bending the head back beyond its anatomical position.
