What can move an animal's skeleton by contracting and relaxing?

Muscles move an animal's skeleton by contracting and relaxing. When a muscle contracts, it pulls on the bones to create movement at the joints. Relaxing the muscle allows the skeleton to return to its original position.


What helps limbs like legs and arms contract and relax?

Muscles, controlled by the brain, move the limbs by contracting and relaxing.


What muscle group helps you bend your arms?

Your triceps and your biceps. These muscles are part of the skeletal muscle group they move by contracting and relaxing.


What has hydroskeleton?

A hydroskeleton, or hydrostatic skeleton, is a structural support system found in certain animals, particularly in soft-bodied organisms like jellyfish, worms, and some mollusks. It relies on the pressure of fluid within a body cavity to maintain shape and enable movement. When the fluid is contained within a flexible outer membrane, it allows the organism to change shape and move by contracting and relaxing muscles. This system is crucial for locomotion and provides support without the rigidity of a traditional skeleton.


How does the skeleton helps us move?

The skeleton provides structure and support for muscles to attach to, allowing them to contract and move our body parts. Joints in the skeleton also enable flexibility and range of motion for movement. The skeleton acts as a lever system, amplifying and facilitating muscle contractions to produce movement.


What characteristics of the skeleton enables animals with bones to move?

Animals have joints which allow them to bend around, this is also helped by the fact they have muscles.


How are arthropods like vertebrate animals?

They both have a kind of skeleton that help them move.


How does a jellyfish move through the water?

What can muscle tissue do?

the benefits are nearly endless...well almost. The main ideas of having more muscles tissue are; you will look and feel better, you will be able to eat more (higher metabolism), and you will be an overall healthier person. To get into detail i am not qualified for but those are the main concepts.

im not the smartest on the subject. but i know that there is both contraction and relax..so these are how the body moves..with your muscles relaxing and contracting consciously and subconsciously.


What role does the muscle play during walking?

The muscle plays a crucial role in walking by contracting and relaxing to move the bones and joints, providing the necessary force and movement for walking.


How do our muscles move?

Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Your muscles can pull bones, but they can't push them back to their original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint.
