make a joint
Depends which bones
Bones themselves do not relax and contract; they are rigid structures that provide support and shape to the body. However, muscles attached to bones are responsible for movement and can contract and relax. When muscles contract, they pull on bones, facilitating movement of the skeletal system. This interaction between muscles and bones allows for various movements and functions in the body.
When they contract
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.
No, bones do not contract. Muscles contract and bones provide structure and support for the body. However, bones can change shape over time due to factors like growth, healing, and degenerative conditions.
smooth muscles
The muscles that contract to bring two bones closer together are called flexor muscles. These muscles work by decreasing the angle between the two bones, resulting in movement such as bending the arm or leg.
The way the muscles are attached to the bones is what facilitates locomotion. The muscles contract which makes the bones move and creates locomotion.
Muscles contract and relax to pull/push
one muscle to contract and the other muscle to retract
muscles are attached to bones by tendons. they expand or contract depending on what you want to do
Muscles. They contract and relax to allow movement of our bones.
