Do muscle push bones to make them move?
Muscles never "push"; they can only "pull".The only power that muscles have is to contract or relax. When they contract, they pull. Most bones have two or more sets of muscles, and each muscle pulls in one direction; in sets, the muscles can work together or oppose each other, which account for all the actions that an animal or person can perform.
What is the concept that muscles pull not push?
It's true. Muscles can only contract and as such pull against something. Depending on what you're doing the "something" that a muscle pulls against is a lever that ends up pushing, but then the pushing pressure is caused when the muscle forces the lever (bone) to push outward. But muscle can either contract or relax... that's all it can do.
Can muscles push and pull?
Muscles pull. They have the capability of either contracting, or relaxing. They get longer when they relax but they do not exert any force by getting longer, since they are very flexible objects, not stiff rods. They only exert force when they contract, and the force they exert can be described as pulling. Muscles work in pairs, so that a joint can both bend and unbend, depending upon which muscle is pulling on it.
What is it that muscles are not able to do?
Muscles are not able to push; they can only pull. This is due to the structure of the muscle fibers and how they contract. Muscles work in pairs, with one muscle contracting and the other relaxing to create movement.
