Yes, muscles can only shorten and relax. They can only pull.
Muscle cells can only contract, thus pull is their only function. Try it, its true. That's why most muscles come in pairs.
Muscles! Tendons connect our muscles to our bones, and the muscles pull our bones in different motions so we can move!
Skeletal muscles
Neither is better, they work different muscles.
The muscles can only pull, not push. So, to move a limb, one muscle relaxes while the other muscle pulls.
all of them, muscles can only contract and relax
one muscle to contract and the other muscle to retract
Muscles can only pull not push. That is why they work in pairs an example is your tricep and bicep, your bicep pulls your arm up and your tricep pulls your arm down.
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.
No. Muscles only pull (contract) and relax.
Muscles only pull. EXAMPLE: Biceps pull to close space between upper arm and forearm. Then the triceps pull to open the area again.
Your muscles pull on bones but they never push bones.
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"
Brain control the muscles through nerves. Your muscles are like rubber bands only more stronger. muscles only pull and not push they pull from counter directions in a front to back way. your brain tells on of the muscles to pull and the other to not.
Muscles are like ropes in a way that muscles can only pull (contract) not push. Think of a rope you can grab the rope and pull it
No, muscles can't push! They can only pull. http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/motivation/index.pl?page=5;read=356
Skeletal muscles work in pair because of the limitation that these muscles can only contract or pull and can only move in one direction.
