Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone so that the muscles can function properly.
Muscles can only pull, therefore bones need two muscles to make it move.
To put a finger up one muscle might pull, the other will put to put back down.
With two, the movement will be smooth, otherwise it will be "jerky" and uncontrolled.
