When one muscle pulls, the other muscle relaxes.
they are called antagonistic muscles.
antagonistic muscles
Skeletal Muscles
The muscles of a chickens wing are antagonistic. Antagonistic muscles are the ones that oppose a specific type of movement.
Skeletal Muscles
No, the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor are not antagonistic muscles. They are both located in the chest region and work together to perform movements like shoulder adduction and internal rotation. Antagonistic muscles work in opposition to each other.
false....
muscles that work in opposition to each other
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.
which two pairs of muscles are antagonistic pairs?
ussually, one muscle in the pair bends part of the body.the other muscle straightens part of the body.
Yes. Skeletal muscles will have a flexor and an extensor. The flexor bends the joint. The extensor straightens it out again.
