Why the biceps alone cannot make the arm straighten?
The biceps flexes the arm it does not extend it (straightens). The triceps brachii extends the arm. They do work together. If one is damaged and doesn't work as it should, the movement will be "jerky" and not smooth.
What are muscles called that work in opposition with each other?
Antagonistic muscle pairs. That means to work in opposition to each other.One muscle produces movement in one direction and the other muscle produces movement in the opposite direction. It would seem to be contradictory but a very smooth movement occurs when they work this way.
What movement they cause if biceps and triceps work?
Those muscles control the movement of the arms, particularly the forearms.
How does the skeletal and muscular systems work together to raise and lower the forearm?
The biceps and triceps muscles work synergistically; the biceps muscles contracting concentrically and the triceps muscles contracting eccentrically when the forearm lifts, and it's the exact reverse when the forearm lowers.
Muscles work in opposable pairs What do they mean by this?
it means when one muscle contracts the other relaxes like the biceps and triceps
What are muscles that work in opposing pairs called?
One is the agonist and the other is called the antagonist. Agonist: muscle which is the main mover, it contracts and shortens Antagonist: muscle that lengthens and controls e.g. flexion at the elbow: the biceps are the agonist and the triceps are the antagonist.
What is the name given to a muscles that work in a pair?
Antigonistic Pairs- The meaning of an antagonistic pair is only one muscle can work at a time. For Example: Biceps and Triceps (in your arm)
How does the cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together to produce movement?
The muscles and bones work together to produce movement but without oxygen and a good heart rate movement would not be possible either.
Muscles work with what and bones to produce movement?
Ligaments
What does muscles work in pairs mean?
Skeletal muscles are arranged as opposing pairs because, although they can shorten themselves by contracting, they have to be stretched back to their former length by other muscles. An example of opposing muscles is in the arm, where the biceps and triceps have opposite actions. As one muscle shortens, the other is stretched. The biceps contracts to bend the arm at the elbow while the triceps stretches. To straighten the elbow joint, the triceps contracts, while the biceps stretches.
What are the muscles called when they are in pairs?
you find muscle pairs in your legs... like you hamstrings or quadriceps.
How do your muscles work in pairs to make parts of the body move using your bicepts and tricepts?
When one muscle of a pair contracts, the other muscle of the pair relaxes to allow movement of the body part.
