How do skeletal muscles work as a pair to bend and straighten the arm at the elbow?
When you bend your elbow, the biceps muscle contracts. At the same time the antagonist muscle, that is the triceps muscle relaxes in synchronized manner. Vise verse action take place, when you straighten the arm at the elbow. Triceps contracts and biceps relaxes.
What muscles work in antagonistic pairs?
Antagonistic pair is a combination of agonist and antagonist muscles that only one contracts and the other one relaxes. The biceps in a human body are an example of it.
Which structure-function pair is mismatched?
microtubule; muscle contraction
The only tissue that is able to contract and shorten in the body?
muscles
What Muscle aids in rotation of axis and atlas?
The sternocleidomastoid pair and the splenius capitus pair act to rotate the head around the joint between the axis and the atlas.The sternocleidomastoid pair and the splenius capitus pair act to rotate the head around the joint between the axis and the atlas.
An example of an antagonist muscle is?
Antagonist muscles are muscles that counteract the action of agonist muscles.Some examples of antagonist muscles are:Triceps work opposite of biceps.Hamstrings works opposite of quadriceps.The sternocleidomastoid works opposite of the deltoids.
What are muscles that work in opposing pairs called?
One is the agonist and the other is called the antagonist. Agonist: muscle which is the main mover, it contracts and shortens Antagonist: muscle that lengthens and controls e.g. flexion at the elbow: the biceps are the agonist and the triceps are the antagonist.
What would happen if both muscles of an antagonist pair contracted simultaneously?
This is not possible. The spinal cord is wired so that when an extensor muscle contracts, a flexor muscle must relax. It is not possible to contract antagonizing muscle groups at the same time.
Is the antagonist muscle one that has an action directly opposite to that of the agonist?
Yes. An antagonistic pair of muscles, such as the biceps and the triceps, allows movement of body parts through opposing motions. As one of these muscles contracts, the other relaxes.
What is an antagonistic pairs?
Antagonistic pair is a combination of agonist and antagonist muscles that only one contracts and the other one relaxes. The biceps in a human body are an example of it.
What are agnostic pairs?
Perhaps you mean antagonist and agonist muscles often occur in pairs, called antagonistic pairs. As one muscle contracts, the other relaxes. An example of an antagonisic pair is the biceps and triceps; to contract - the triceps relaxes while the biceps contracts to lift the arm.
What would be the antagonist to the muscle that flexes the arm would be a muscle that?
Looks like you are looking for the antagonistic pair. The muscular group that flexes the arm would be the antagonistic pair of tricep brachi and the brachialis.
how does one muscle in a pair behave when the other muscle contract?
When one muscle in a pair contracts the other expands.
Who is the antagonist in a pair of silk sotckings?
Miss White from Clue.

As one muscle in a pair relaxes what does the otyher muscle do?
contract
What is the Muscle pair for a pectorals?
deltoids
