Skeletal muscles have an antagonistic relationship. To move about a joint one muscle contracts while its opposite muscle relaxes. For example, movement of the forearm is done through the bicep and tricep along the elbow joint.
as one muscle contracts, the other relaxes

Is this statement true or false Skeletal muscles always work in antagonistic pairs?

False. While many skeletal muscles do work in antagonistic pairs (e.g. biceps and triceps), not all skeletal muscles function this way. Some skeletal muscles work alone or in synergy with other muscles to produce movement.


How do the skeletal and muscular systems work together to move your body?

Muscles are attached to bones by tendons. The muscles contract to allow movement, while the skeleton gives the muscles support. The muscles and bones move together, basically with the muscles contracting and the bones allowing them to stay up. Something like that.

Muscles and bones together enable the body to?

The bones adequately support the muscles, and the muscles move the skeletal system. They coincide with each other in order to work. one system could not work without the other.


How does the muscular and skeletal system work together to support movement and maintain the body's structure?

The muscular system and skeletal system work together to support movement and maintain the body's structure. Muscles attach to bones via tendons, allowing them to contract and pull on the bones, causing movement. The skeletal system provides a framework for muscles to attach to and supports the body's weight. Together, they work in coordination to allow for movement and provide stability to the body.


What two systems work together to produce movement?

The muscular system and the skeletal system work together to produce movement. Muscles contract and pull on bones, causing them to move at the joints. The skeletal system provides structure and support for the muscles to generate movement.
