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

∙ 14y ago"Skeletal muscles enable the skeleton to move. they are attached to ligaments which are attached to the bone meaning when you e.g. walk the muscle contracts; pullng the ligaments and moving your bones. they slao hold your bones together, along with ligaments." Bones give your body a structure. The Muscles give you the ability to move and lift. the ligaments and tendons attach both together and allow you to perform a whole slew of movement that neither the skeleton nor the muscles could do alone.

∙ 8y agoMost muscles are attached to bones which provide the framework for the human body. When muscles contract (shorten), they pull the skeleton in the direction they shorten. You can often see them bulge when they do so.

What do skeletal muscles always work in?
Skeletal muscles work in pairs: flexors and extensors
What other system must work with muscles and how do the two systems work together?
the skeletal and muscular systems
How do Skeletal muscles work when you are asleep explain?
the brain has 2 powerful systems work together to paralyze skeletal muscles during rapid eye movement sleep according to reaserch scientist may have better understanding
What are the skeletal muscle interactions?
Skeletal muscles work together or in opposition Muscles only pull (never push) As muscles shorten, the insertion generally moves toward the origin Whatever a muscle (or group of muscles) does, another muscle (or group) "undoes"
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.
Do skeletal muscles work in groups?
yes
Muscle contracts to move?
the muscles and the bone work together and attached
What muscles are the muscles that move bones?
These muscles are called "skeletal muscles".
What organs work together with the Skeletal System to work properly?
muscles and tendons with the nerves to control them and the blood to supply oxygen and energy and remove waste
Do skeletal muscles always work in pairs?
false
Do skeletal muscles work in paires?
All skeletal muscles will have a flexor and an extensor. The flexor bends the joint. The extensor straightens it out again.
