There are many movements (hip flexion, hip extension, hip abduction, hip adduction, hip external rotation, hip internal rotation, hip diagonal abduction, hip diagonal adduction, and anterior, posterior, lateral, and transverse pelvic rotation) that are associated with the hip, making the hip joint an important necessity.

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or anatomy:
“One can say of language that it is potentially the only human home, the only dwelling place that cannot be hostile to man.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“But a man must keep an eye on his servants, if he would not have them rule him. Man is a shrewd inventor, and is ever taking the hint of a new machine from his own structure, adapting some secret of his own anatomy in iron, wood, and leather, to some required function in the work of the world. But it is found that the machine unmans the user. What he gains in making cloth, he loses in general power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
