All muscles cause movement due to the contraction of coupled muscle cells. Perhaps the question intended to inquire about muscles that cause a bending in which the joint angle decreases. Muscles of this type are called flexor muscles (biceps for example).

How does the effector muscle cause movement?
by moving it
Tissue has elongated cells that shorten and cause movement?
Muscle tissue contracts or shortens, allowing movement.
What is the muscle's role in the body?
to contract to cause movement.
What muscle does not cause movement at the knee joint?
soleus
Medications that can cause uncontroled muscle movement?
A LOT what med are you taking?
Long thin cells in animals that can contrast and cause movement?
muscle fibers
Long thin cells in animals that can contract and cause movement?
muscle cells
Any tissue made of cells or fibers that contract and expand to cause movement is an?
Muscle.
Which internal structures of animals are specifically adapted to use contraction to cause movement?
Muscle
Which type of cells are specialized for movement of the body?
Muscle cells are specialized for movement of the body. They have extra mitochondria so that they can utilize the energy necessary to contract muscles. A whole chain of muscle cells contracting will cause the muscle to "flex."
What and where are sarcomeres?
These are found in muscle cells. The action causes contractions. They cause a sliding or shortening movement.
What is a target movement?
A movement that targets one muscle or one section of a muscle.
