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.


Which type of tissue can contract?

Muscle tissue is the type of tissue that can contract. This includes skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissues. Muscle contraction is a key function that enables movement and various physiological processes in the body.


Which two muscles must contract in order to get both eyes to rotate the the left?

levoversion (looking left) involves:left lateral rectusright medial rectusThis is called conjugate movement (the eyes move in the same direction). Eye muscles work together with other eye muscles, of the same eye and the opposite eye, to move both eyes together in various directions. These are known as yoked eye movements.


What are the 7 skull bones that can move?

I'm not sure, but isn't the skull on big bone? oh well i must be wrong. ---- No, the skull is not one big bone. The skull is made up of 22 bones, excluding the ossicles of the ear (small bones in the middle ear space which serve to transmit sound). There are 6 ossicles in total, three in each ear, and these bones are mobile. The only other skull bone that is able to move is the mandible (jaw bone). Thus, the seven bones that are able to move are: - Mandible - Left Malleus Ossicle - Right Malleus Ossicle - Left Incus Ossicle - Right Incus Ossicle - Left Stapes Ossicle - Right Stapes Ossicle. I hope this helps. Qu.mstr


When a muscle is at rest the active sites on the actin are blocked by?

When a muscle is at rest, the active sites on the actin are blocked by tropomyosin. Tropomyosin prevents myosin binding to actin, which helps to keep the muscle relaxed. In order for muscle contraction to occur, tropomyosin must be moved out of the way to expose the active sites on actin.

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 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.

Is bone cells found in somebody skin?

No, considering in order for that to be possible the bone must pass through several layers of muscle, fat, skin, et cetera.

What antibiotics could be used for an inflammation in the bone and muscle?

Inflammation in the bone and muscle is not always a sign of infection. If antibiotics are needed to treat a bone infection, typically they must be intravenous. Talk with your health care provider about the plan of care.


Why must skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone?

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 is the bigger muscle bicep or quadricep?

The quadriceps are bigger because it controls your thighs so it must be bigger in order to lift your leg. As where your biceps is a muscle that controls your arm and also has a muscle to help it move. So the quadriceps are bigger and stronger.
