Any flexor muscle decreases the angle of a joint. When you flex your biceps brachii, the distance between your forearm and arm becomes closer together. When you use your extensors on the same joint, your arm will straighten.

What type of movement does the contraction of a Extensor produce?
The contraction of a flexor allows the arm or leg to bend
What muscle do to cause movement?
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).
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
What is the type of muscle contraction that produces movement in a joint and allows the muscle to shorten?
By tensing.
What is the word for muscular contraction involving muscle movement?
Isotonic contractions are the type that involve muscle movement. This movement is due to a change in length as the muscle fibers shorten or lengthen.
Walking is an example of which type of contraction?
Walking is an example of isotonic type of contraction. These are contractions which will force the length of the muscle to change and cause movement.
What type of muscle bends a joint.?
Flexor
What type of muscle bends joint?
Flexor
What is the type of contraction in which the muscle fibers produce increased tension but does not shorten?
An isometric contraction builds tension but there is no joint movement.
Is specialized for contraction?
Yes, specialized muscle tissue is designed for contraction. This type of tissue contains unique structures like sarcomeres, which are responsible for generating force during muscle contraction. Specialized muscle tissue allows for efficient and controlled movement of the body.
What does the contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle usually result in?
type of contraction of gastrocnemius muscle?
What type of muscle contraction is involved in warming up?
isotonic contraction!
