What Muscle tissue maintains posture body position and stabilizes joints?
Muscles stabilize joint by supporting the movement of the joints. Joint in the bones are not able to move alone. The muscles support weight from applying pressure to the joint which protects the joint from damage.
What monitors Equilibrium and the activities of muscles and joints?
Equilibrium and the activities of muscles and joints are monitored by proprioceptors. Proprioceptors can be found in joints and skeletal striated muscles.proprioceptorsproprioceptors
How do ligaments protect joints?
A ligament is a special type of fibrous tissue that connects one bone to another bone.
What is the function of the joints in the human body?
bones have 4 main functions, they hold up the body, ( so it is not a blob of living ooze ) the marrow inside them produces blood, bones like the rib cage protect vital organs like the heart, and bones also give muscles something to hold on to. joints allow bones to move.
What structures are skeletal muscles attached?
The muscles attach on the inside of these coverings at flexible joints.
What would happen if both muscles of an antagonist pair contracted simultaneously?
This is not possible. The spinal cord is wired so that when an extensor muscle contracts, a flexor muscle must relax. It is not possible to contract antagonizing muscle groups at the same time.
How does muscles work in antagonistic pairs?
there are upto four functional groups of muscles acting on joints. 1 agonist: actively contract to make a movement. muscle length reduces. 2. antagonist: resists the muscle on opposite side, thereby controls the speed of the agonist muscle contraction. that's why they say both agonist and antagonist muscles are working in pairs. furthermore when the movement is reversed the original agonist becomes the antagonist and the original antogonist becomes the agonist. hence antagonist pairs. right? 3. stabilisers: some muscles will hold the joint area stable while other three types of muscles are making a movement. 4. modifiers: some muscles can slightly change the direction of force exerted by agonists dynamically.

How do muscles work together to move the body?

The cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, all working as one holding bones together and letting joints move. Muscles connect the joints to the bones.
