How do our muscles move?

Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Your muscles can pull bones, but they can't push them back to their original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint.

What is the name for muscles that work as opposite pairs to move bones?

The muscles that work as opposite pairs to move bones are called "antagonistic muscles." When one muscle in the pair contracts to create movement, the other muscle relaxes to allow that movement to occur. This coordinated action helps in the smooth and controlled movement of limbs and other body parts. An example of this is the biceps and triceps in the arm.
