How do muscles help in moving the bones?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 15 Jun, 2016, 12:46: PM
Expert Answer
Muscles work in pairs. When one of them contracts, the bone is pulled in that direction. The other muscle of the pair relaxes. To move the bone in the opposite direction, the relaxed muscle contracts to pull the bone towards its original position, while the first relaxes. A muscle can only pull. It cannot push. Thus, two muscles have to work together to move a bone.
