there are upto four functional groups of muscles acting on joints. 1 agonist: actively contract to make a movement. muscle length reduces. 2. antagonist: resists the muscle on opposite side, thereby controls the speed of the agonist muscle contraction. that's why they say both agonist and antagonist muscles are working in pairs. furthermore when the movement is reversed the original agonist becomes the antagonist and the original antogonist becomes the agonist. hence antagonist pairs. right? 3. stabilisers: some muscles will hold the joint area stable while other three types of muscles are making a movement. 4. modifiers: some muscles can slightly change the direction of force exerted by agonists dynamically.
Yes, muscle pairs work in opposition to one another. The lengthening of the biceps, for instance, shortens the triceps. That helps move your arm.
I dotn know
they are called antagonistic muscles.
which two pairs of muscles are antagonistic pairs?
antagonistic muscles
Skeletal muscles
Skeletal Muscles
muscles that work in opposition to each other
false....
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.
No!Muscles that work in pairs are called antagonistic muscles.Tissue is a level between single cells and complete orgenisms, e.g. organs are made out of gruops of tissues.
false
True, muscles always work where one contract another relaxes.
