Muscles that work in pairs and against each other are called antagonistic muscles. These muscle pairs have opposite actions, with one muscle contracting while the other relaxes to produce movement. For example, the biceps and triceps in the arm are antagonistic muscles, with the biceps flexing the arm while the triceps extend it.
What else can I help you with?
Is this statement true or false Skeletal muscles always work in antagonistic pairs?
False. While many skeletal muscles do work in antagonistic pairs (e.g. biceps and triceps), not all skeletal muscles function this way. Some skeletal muscles work alone or in synergy with other muscles to produce movement.
What is it that muscles are not able to do?
Muscles are not able to push; they can only pull. This is due to the structure of the muscle fibers and how they contract. Muscles work in pairs, with one muscle contracting and the other relaxing to create movement.
What is the medical term meaning muscles having opposite actions from each other on a bone?
The medical term is "antagonistic muscles." These muscles work in pairs where one muscle contracts while the other relaxes, allowing for smooth and controlled movement around a joint.
How many muscles used to swallow?
