Muscles work by contracting not extending. Thus the mechanics of a body powered by muscles needs to work with that property. Muscle groups are therefore paired, on to pull a lever one way on one side of the hinge and another to pull the other way on the other side.
In order to move, muscles pull on the joints to pull the bones and let them move.
They pull on bones by contracting.
Muscles cause bones to move when they contract. This contraction exerts force on the tendons, which in turn pull on the bones, resulting in movement at the joints. The interaction between muscles, tendons, and bones allows for various movements and activities.
You flex your muscles to do this and these pull on the tendons which link the muscles to the bones.
with a lot of help you need muscles to pull on bones so that you can move
The muscles contract and relax to pull tendons that are attached to bones that support our body.
one muscle to contract and the other muscle to retract
Your muscles pull on bones but they never push bones.
The muscles are what do the moving, while the bones support you. It is the bones that make you able to make traction with the ground, while it is the muscles that pull the bones.
The muscles are what do the moving, while the bones support you. It is the bones that make you able to make traction with the ground, while it is the muscles that pull the bones.
Those are called tendons. Tendons are tough bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones, allowing the muscles to pull on the bones and create movement.
The bones do not move, neither do they work alone. In order to move the bones need help from the joints and muscles. The muscles pull on the joints therefore making the bones move.
