What is the muscle that causes parts of the body to bend?
A flexor is a muscle that causes a joint to bend. In contrast, an extension is a muscle that straightens a joint.
Explain the function of flexors and in extensors?
these muscle groups either extend a joint, extensors) or contract the joint (flexors). triceps extend the elbow joint, biceps bend the elbow joint.
When you bend your arms what muscle is the flexor?
Probably the Biceps Brachii (commonly called Biceps).
To bend the ankle which muscle must contract?
The ankle bends two ways, anterior (up) and posterior (down), so it depends. The bend the ankle down (point the toe), the gastrocnemius muscle (calf) must contract. To bend the ankle up (lift the toe) the tibialis anterior muscle must contract.
What contracts to extends or straighten the limb at the joint?
This type of muscle contracts to bend a limb at a joint

Diagram the arrangement of muscles necessary to bend a joint with an exoskeleton versus a joint supported by an endoskeleton?
In an exoskeleton, muscles are attached externally to the skeleton, causing them to pull on the outside of the joint, which requires bilateral muscles to contract and relax in an alternating pattern to achieve movement. In an endoskeleton, muscles are attached internally to the skeleton, allowing for a more direct relationship between muscle contraction and joint movement, typically involving antagonistic muscle pairs to bend and extend the joint more efficiently.
What are single joint muscles?
Single joint muscles are muscles that cross and act on only one joint. They are primarily responsible for producing movement at that specific joint, such as the biceps muscle that crosses the elbow joint to bend the forearm.
Which muscle straightens a joint?
A muscle that straightens a joint is called an extensor.Extensors are the muscles whose contraction extends or straightens a limb or other part of the body.Extensor muscle
What happens when you bend your leg?
When you bend your leg, the muscles in your thigh contract, pulling on the tendons that are attached to the bones in your lower leg. This causes your knee joint to flex, bringing your lower leg closer to your thigh. Additionally, the bones in the knee joint glide and rotate to allow for smooth and efficient movement.
How does muscle bend and straighten a joint?
Muscles bend and flex by moving the arm to pick up an object or even weightlifting. you know lil Wayne
What muscles must contract and relax to bend your ankle?
