Let's take your arm as an example. you have the bicep and the tricep. all muscles come in pairs. they can only push, not pull. your bicep connects to the top of your hinge joint in your elbow, and your triceps connect to the bottom. your bicep pulls to bend your arm, and your triceps pulls to straighten your arm.
Was that a too complicated answer?
What else can I help you with?
Is a force a push or a pull or both?
A muscle operates by getting shorter. It's tied to a bone, and can only pull the bone,not push it. In order for the muscle to return to its original length, a different muscle,on the other side, has to pull the bone in the opposite direction. So, inside the 'machinery',muscles can only pull, not push. Outside the machine, of course, the hand or the legmoves, and those can be rigged to objects in the outside world in ways that permitpulling or pushing.
Where is muscle attached to bone?
muscle attaches to bone by a tendon. muscle is attached to an immovable bone, this is called orgin, and the other end of the muscle is attached to a movable bone. this is called insertion.
The end of the muscle that is attached by means of a tendon to the movable bone and is opposite to the origin?
Insertion
The end of the muscle that is attached by means of a tendon to the movable bone and opposite to the origin?
INSERTION
Why is a pair of muscles required to move a bone?
Strictly speaking, it's not. It's just that, having moved it using one muscle, you might want to be able to move it back to where it was before, in which case you'll probably need a muscle that pulls the opposite direction.
When two dogs are tugging on the same bone in the opposite direction what are they producing?
The pull force
Bone and muscle of the cell?
Cells comprise bone and muscle, they do not have bone and muscle in them.
Why do muscles need bones in order for the body to move?
AnswerThough not all muscles work in pairs, the general principle is that one muscle moves a bone one way, and the other muscle moves it the opposite way. Why? Because muscles can only pull, not push.For example, when you bend your arm, the biceps muscle pulls. When you want to straighten it, the biceps muscle cannot push it back. Instead, the triceps muscle that's on the back of the arm pulls in the other direction.
When two dogs are tugging on the same bone in opposite directions what are they produceing?
When two dogs tug on the same bone in opposite directions, they are producing equal and opposite forces, resulting in a tug-of-war scenario. The bone will stay in place or move slightly in the direction of the stronger dog's pull.
What attaches to the bone and muscle?
tendons:bones to muscle ligaments:bonr to bone
What muscle's primary goal is to provide movement?
The primary movement of each muscle is to contract and relax. Depending on how it is anchored to the bone will dictates the direction it moves.
Is ligament the mart of a muscle that attches the muscle to bone?
Ligament attaches bone to bone tendon attaches muscle to bone
