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.

What must a muscle do in order to move a bone?

In order to move a bone, a muscle must contract and exert force.


How do you muscles move bones?

In order to work, a skeletal muscle must have both ends connected to he skeleton. The end of a muscle that does not move is called its origin. The other end is attached to the bone it moves, and is called insertion.

Skeletal muscles must work in pairs because?

Skeletal muscles work in pairs, known as antagonistic pairs, because they can only contract, not extend. When one muscle in the pair contracts, the other relaxes to allow movement. This arrangement enables the body to produce smooth and controlled motions, facilitating activities such as walking, lifting, and running. Without this coordinated action, joints would not be able to move effectively.

Would you find a skeletal muscle in your leg?

You would find many. Skeletal muscles are the voluntary muscles that help move parts of our body. Since you move your legs to walk, you must have skeletal muscles to do that.


How do all of the muscles work together to perform movement in your body?

Muscles act by shortening the path between their ends, which are connected between different bones, which makes the bones flex appropriately. Bones are strong in compression as well as tension, so they are fit to anchor muscle ends.


Why must skeletal muscles work in pair?

1 muscle works 2 move it 1 way, another works 2 move it the other way.


In order to move a bone each muscle must cross at least one what?

Joint. A muscle must cross a joint to move the insertionbone relative to the bone of origin. For example, the biceps spanning the elbow joint and the quadriceps spanning the knee joint.


How do muscles work in pairs to move a bone?

Well you have two muscles in your arm: the bicep and tricep. In order to make the arm move the two muscles must flex while the other extends and vice versa. So the bicep flexes and the tricep extends (the arm is bent). The bicep extends and the tricep flexes (the arm is straight)


What must a muscle do to move a bone?

the muscles are around or next to the bones, the contracting of muscles enables the bones to move. for example the muscles in your arm, when you move your arm up, the muscle underneath the bone contract (tighten) to push the bone upwards.
