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.

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.
Muscles that work as opposite pairs to move bones are called?
Agonist & AntagonistsAgonist is the muscle responsible for the primary movement ( muscle that contracts)Antagonist is the opposite muscle that must relax to allow the agonist to move a joint.

Which structures work in antagonistic pairs to move bones?
Muscles work in antagonistic pairs to move bones. The pairs consist of an agonist (prime mover) that contracts to produce a movement, and an antagonist that relaxes to allow the movement to occur smoothly. This coordinated action helps control the direction and speed of movement.
How can you move your bones?
with a lot of help you need muscles to pull on bones so that you can move
What are the bones that move muscles called?
All muscles can move, but only skeletal muscles are voluntary. The cardiac and the smooth muscles cannot be moved by your will, but skeletal muscles can be.
Why must skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone?
Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone so that the muscles can function properly. Muscles can only pull, therefore bones need two muscles to make it move. To put a finger up one muscle might pull, the other will put to put back down. With two, the movement will be smooth, otherwise it will be "jerky" and uncontrolled.
What helps bones move?
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.
How muscles and bones coordinate?
In order to move, muscles pull on the joints to pull the bones and let them move.
What structures move bones?
Muscles move bones.
