Yes
Muscles shorten when they contract because the muscle fibers within the muscle bundle slide past each other, causing the muscle to contract and pull on the attached bones, resulting in movement.
When muscles contract, they shorten and generate force. This process is controlled by the nervous system, which sends signals to the muscles to release calcium ions. These ions bind to proteins in the muscle cells, causing them to slide past each other and contract. This contraction allows the muscles to produce movement and perform various functions in the body.
The muscular system is responsible for movement, stability, and heat production in the body. It is made up of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Muscles contract to produce movement, tendons connect muscles to bones, and ligaments connect bones to each other.
Muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints all work together to produce movement due to the fact that they are all attached. As the muscles, tendons, and ligaments expand and contract they pull the bones of the joint allowing the joint to move.
The main organs in the muscular system are muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Muscles contract and relax to produce movement, tendons connect muscles to bones, and ligaments connect bones to each other for stability. Together, these organs work in coordination to facilitate movement and provide support to the body.
The answer is false. I just finished my test with the same question, so that's how I know its false.

all of them, muscles can only contract and relax
Primiary respiratory drive in a healthy person is based on carbon dioxide levels. In a healthy person each time the carbon dioxide level gets high the brain stem send nerve impulses down the spinal cord that cause the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles to contract.

Not exactly. Your intercostal muscles are the muscles that contract and they're found inbetween in each rib in the rib cage. When this contracts, as well as the diapragm, the lungs will have less air pressure inside them, making you breathe in. Hope this helped? :)
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) leaves the body with each exhale breath.
The anatomical features of the respiratory system include airways (nose,pharynx,larynx, trachea, bronchus), lungs, and the respiratory muscles (sternocleidomastoid, platysma, scalene muscle of the neck, external intercostal muscle and diaphragm)
They contract.Long and complicated proteins fibres in the muscles draw across each other, bunching up, contracting the muscle.Muscles never push - to get around this, the body puts muscles into pairs, known as antagonistic pairs, so that they each pull (contract) in opposite directions. For example, around your elbow, your bicep pulls to close your arm, and your tricep (on the other side) pulls to extend your arm.
Generally, voluntary muscles are striated and skeletal muscles, while involuntary muscles are smooth muscles and are visceral (located in organs). Voluntary muscles are muscles that can be consciously contracted, while involuntary muscles are muscles that are contracted at certain times or at all times without the conscious consent of the brain.
Skeletal muscle tissue is made of many fibers, which have many sarcomeres with overlapping actin and myosin protein strands. When muscles contract their proteins overlap eachother and shorten the fiber, which then increases height but shortens in length of each fiber.
Muscles make possible every move we make, even when we are sleeping. Your muscles move according to what they are fromed. To be more specific, a muscle is made up of many bundles of muscle fibers. Each of these bundles of fibers is called a motor unit. Each unit has a motor nerve which branches out at its tip. Each muscle fiber, therefore, has its own nerve ending to stimulate it. An electrochemical impulse is transmitted by chemicals from the nerve ending to the fiber, causing the fiber in that motor unit to contract and this is how each muscle of your body moves.
