What are single joint muscles?
Single joint muscles are muscles that cross and act on only one joint. They are primarily responsible for producing movement at that specific joint, such as the biceps muscle that crosses the elbow joint to bend the forearm.
When the angle of a joint increases it produces movement Which type of movement is it?
To increase the angle of a joint is extension. To decrease the angle of a joint is flexion. (plato users the answer is A.)
Bending the knee joint to bring the lower-leg and upper-leg bones closer together?
This movement is called knee flexion. It is controlled by the hamstrings at the back of the thigh and the calf muscles. The knee joint flexes to allow the leg to bend and bring the lower leg towards the upper leg.
This type of joint allows side to side movement and up and down movement?
A ball-and-socket joint, like the hip joint, allows for a wide range of movement as it allows both rotational and circumduction movements.
What is the opposite movement of dorsiflexion in the ankle joint?
Plantarflexion is the opposite movement of dorsiflexion in the ankle joint.
What are single joint muscles?
Single joint muscles are muscles that cross and act on only one joint. They are primarily responsible for producing movement at that specific joint, such as the biceps muscle that crosses the elbow joint to bend the forearm.
What effect do the hamstrings have on the hip joint?
Stabilize and strengthen the hip joint.
What is the joint at the hamstring?
The hamstrings flex the knee and extend the hip.
Are the hamstrings muscles two-joint muscle that act at the knee and hip.?
true
Why are hamstrings and quadriceps considered two joints?
They aren't. Neither of them is a "joint" at all.
What moves a joint on its axis?
A joint is moved on its axis by muscle contraction. Muscles contract to generate force, pulling on the bones that make up the joint and causing movement. The specific movement produced is determined by the type of joint and the arrangement of muscles surrounding it.
If a prime mover produces flexion its antagonist will be?
If a prime mover produces flexion, its antagonist will be the muscle responsible for producing extension at the same joint. They work in opposition to each other to create movement and stabilize the joint.
What is the action of the hamstrings in jogging?
The role of the hamstring muscle group during running is extending and hyperextending the hip joint
When the angle of a joint increases it produces movement Which type of movement is it?

This movement is called knee flexion. It is controlled by the hamstrings at the back of the thigh and the calf muscles. The knee joint flexes to allow the leg to bend and bring the lower leg towards the upper leg.
The medial rotation is the movement of which joint?
The medial roataion is the movement of Glenohumeral joint .
Function of the joints?
To allow for and prevent movement in a specific range of motion depending on the shape and orientation of the joint surface.
