- The type of involuntary muscle that move food through the digestive tract is called
Smooth muscle (38. Study Guide - Muscular System)
- A muscle is attached to a bone by a connective tissue is called a
Tendon (44. WKST - The Muscular System)
- Explain how muscles work as a pair to bend and straighten the arm at the elbow causing movement at the arm
Muscles work in pairs. To bend the elbow the biceps brachii (flexor) contracts and the triceps brachii (extensor) relaxes. To straighten the elbow, the biceps brachii (flexor) relaxes and the triceps brachii (extensor) contracts. Flexion of a joint is a decrease in joint angle. Extension of a joint is an increase in joint angle. This joint movement is called hinge joint. (39. CLF - Exterior Muscles of the Body)
