        Rotation and circumduction
        
        Performing a step-over in football
  - - - Radius, ulna and carpals
        
        Flexion and extension

- - - - Red blood cells which have a function of carrying oxygen to our working muscles
      - White blood cells which fight infection
      - Platelets which perform the role of blood clotting
  - - - e.g. the ball-and-socket joints at the shoulder and hips enable a greater range of movement than the hinge joints at the knee and elbow
  - - - e.g. the biceps attach to the radius and ulna and pull the lower arm towards the upper arm when they contract
    - - Tendons are connective tissues that join muscle to bone. When the muscle contracts the tendon pulls the bone to allow movement
    - - Ligaments are connective tissues that join bone to bone. Their main role is to stabilise the joint and keep it together
  - - - e.g. rugby player in a scrum can push using their shoulders while also moving their arm to maintain balance
  - - - e.g. the storage of calcium is important for bone density and can reduce the risk of bone injuries in contact sports such as American football
  - - - e.g. during contact sports such as rugby the ribs and cranium protect the heart, lungs and brain from injury
