What does liagament mean?
tough tissue connecting body parts: a sheet or band of tough fibrous tissue that connects bones or cartilage at a joint or supports an organ, muscle, or other body part
What kind of joint is the joint between the trapezium and the first metacarpal?
saddle joint
Why is the hip joint stronger than the shoulder joint?
The hip joint is a weight bearing structure and is therefore designed differently to allow controlled movement and yet retain strength and stability. The Shoulder in contrast is designed mainly for a range of movement far beyond the hip still controlled but not as stable and as strengthened as the hip
What is the type of joint formed by the phalanges?
a shalingwe and Johnson joint. AFRICANS
How does the human body reduce friction?
The human body creates synovial fluid, which is found in our joints. This is a lubricating fluid, which reduces friction. When a joint loses its synovial fluid, bones can touch each other, which causes joint pain. This can be alleviated medically by having a series of joint injections with an artificial synovial fluid called hyaluronic acid. There are two common supplements, which are also used to reduce joint friction, glucosamine and chondroitin.
What is a muscle that causes a joint to straighten when it contracts?
strain
What a muscle that causes a joint to straighten when it contracts?
strain
What kind of muscle causes a joint to straighten when it contracts?
The muscle that causes a joint to straighten when it contracts is called an extensor. Extensors work by increasing the angle between the bones at a joint, allowing for actions such as straightening the arm or leg. For example, the triceps muscle is an extensor that straightens the elbow joint when it contracts.
What contracts to extends or straighten the limb at the joint?
This type of muscle contracts to bend a limb at a joint
What is a muscle that causes a joint to straighten when contracting?
strain
What is a muscle that causes a joint to straighten when it conttractscontracts?
Tricep.
What muscle causes a joint to straigten when it contracts?
your triceps
Why muscles have to work in pairs?
Skeletal muscles only pull in one direction. For this reason they always come in pairs. When one muscle in a pair contracts, to bend a joint for example, its counterpart then contracts and pulls in the opposite direction to straighten the joint out again.
What causes the joint to straighten?
The right answer is StrainThat would depend on the joint. The knee joint is straightened with the quadricep muscle (thigh). And the elbow joint is straightened with the tricep muscle (back of the arm)LigamentsPerhaps extensor muscles. (ligaments function to hold joints together, they are not muscles.)
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 is a muscle that causes a joint to bend when it contract?
A muscle that causes a joint to bend when it contracts is called a flexor. Flexor muscles, such as the biceps brachii in the upper arm, work by shortening and pulling on the bones to decrease the angle at a joint, facilitating movements like bending the elbow. In contrast, extensors are muscles that increase the angle at a joint.
Why are extensors and flexors cnsidered antagonistic muscles?
Extensors and flexors are considered antagonistic muscles because they perform opposite actions at a joint. When one muscle, such as a flexor, contracts to bend a joint, the extensor relaxes to allow that movement. Conversely, when the extensor contracts to straighten the joint, the flexor must relax. This coordinated opposition allows for smooth and controlled movements.
