Muscle that work in opposite pairs are called?
antagonistic muscles
What does it mean for muscles to work opposing pairs?
the answer is when one muscle contracts the other relaxes
What are antagonistic?
they are pairs of muscle that work together alternating. they need each other because no muscle can stretch a so the other mucle contracts.
Are striated under skeletal muscle?
Because muscle cells can only contract, not extend, skeletal muscles most work in pairs. While one muscle contracts, the other muscle in the pair relaxes to its original length.
Why muscles must work in pairs?
Muscles can only exert force by getting shorter. Muscles work in pairs by one muscle pulling in one direction, the other muscle pulls in the opposite direction. One bends your leg, the other straightens the leg, etc.
How do muscles work in pairs to move the body?
When one muscle of a pair contracts, the other muscle of the pair relaxes to allow movement of the body part.
How do muscles work pairs to move the body?
When one muscle of a pair contracts, the other muscle of the pair relaxes to allow movement of the body part.
How the antogonistic pairs keep the body upright and straight?
Antagonistic muscle pairs work together to maintain balance and stabilize the body. When one muscle contracts, its antagonist muscle relaxes to allow movement. For example, the biceps and triceps work together to bend and straighten the arm, contributing to overall stability and posture.
Why do muscles work in antagonistic pairs?
Because muscle can only contracts. The only way for it to lengthen is by having an outside force, ie, another muscle's contraction.
What body parts work in pairs to pull your bones in different directions?
They are the muscles. Muscles contract in pairs to move the parts across the joint. One muscle contract with more power. The opposite muscle contracts with less power and get stretched over to allow the first muscle to act.
How can muscles work in pairs?
ussually, one muscle in the pair bends part of the body.the other muscle straightens part of the body.
What are agnostic muscle pairs?
Agnostic muscle pairs are muscle groups that work together in a way that they can function independently of each other. They are not reliant on each other during movement, allowing for more flexibility and movement efficiency. Examples include the biceps and triceps in the arms, or the hamstrings and quadriceps in the legs.
