Muscles that contract to bring two bones closer together are called?
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.
Which two systems are working together in the arm to bend?
The muscular and skeletal systems work together in the arm to bend. The muscles, attached to the bones by tendons, contract to move the bones at the joints and create the bending motion.
What is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint?
Flexion is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint
When we bend forwards the bones of the vertebrae are moved closer together at the front squeezing the front of the disc into a wedge?
true
Bending the knee joint to bring the lower-leg and upper-leg bones closer together?
This movement is called knee flexion. It is controlled by the hamstrings at the back of the thigh and the calf muscles. The knee joint flexes to allow the leg to bend and bring the lower leg towards the upper leg.
Flexion and extension of the body?
Flexion is the bending of a joint, typically bringing two body parts closer together. Extension is the straightening of a joint, typically increasing the angle between two body parts. These movements are crucial for everyday activities and play a significant role in functional mobility.
What are movements along the sagittal plane that decrease the angle between two bones?
Flexion is the general term for movements that decrease the angle between two bones; however, in the sagittal plane, the special term "adduction" is used for movements that decrease the angle between the limb and the midline.
What statement best describes how a muscle moves a bone?
actually muscles don't move the bones but they hold them together. (i hope this can help)
How wouid you move your body if there were no skeleton?
You wouldn't be able to, how muscles work is when they contract they pull two or more bones closer together to preform movement so without bones there would be no way for your body to move.
What are strong flexible fibers that hold the bones in place and stretch to allow bending?
ligaments
What made bones held together?
Bones are held together by ligaments.
Hold bones together?
joints. (they JOIN bones together. JOINts join! :P )
