Muscle that work in opposite pairs are called?
antagonistic muscles
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.
Since muscles can only pull and not push each muscle is matched with another on the opposite side What are these pairs of muscles called?
they are called complimentary muscles
Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones of the appendicular skeleton in opposing pairs called?
flexors and extensors
What is The muscle that connects to your bone are called?
The muscles that connect to bones are called skeletal muscles. These muscles are attached to bones via tendons and enable voluntary movements of the body. Skeletal muscles work in pairs to facilitate motion, contracting to pull on bones and allowing for a wide range of physical activities.
What body parts work in pairs to pull your bones in different directions?
They are the muscles. Muscles contract in pairs to move the parts across the joint. One muscle contract with more power. The opposite muscle contracts with less power and get stretched over to allow the first muscle to act.

What muscle moves bones?
There are three types of muscle in your body: striated, smooth and cardiac. The striated muscle is also called skeletal muscle and it is this type of muscle that moves your joints. Skeletal muscles are attached by tendons to the bones that they act on.
What is it called when pairs of muscles work in opposite directions to move a limb?
Antagonists oppose or reverse the movement of a prime mover.The process would be known as Antagonistic.
