Muscles around the skeleton which we have control over ( consciously controlled )
They attach to the skeleton by tendons

Question 2

Involuntary muscles

We don’t have control over them
Example - blood vessels, stomach, intestines
Contract rhythmically and slowly

Question 3

Cardiac muscles

Answer 3

Found in the walls of the heart
When contract they pump blood around body
Don’t have control over them

Question 4

Antagonistic muscle pairs

Answer 4

Muscles work together to provide movement of the joints
When one contracts pther relaxes
Muscle contracting - agonist
Muscle relaxing - antagonist

Question 5

Bicep and triceps working together

Answer 5

Bend elbow (flexion) bicep contracts and tricep relaxes - bicep - agonist, tricep antagonist
When we straighten elbow bicep relaxes and tricep contracts

Question 6

Quadriceps and hamstrings

Answer 6

When we bend knee hamstring contracts and quadriceps relaxes - hamstring - agonist, quadriceps - antagonist.

Question 7

Gastronemius and tibalis interior

Answer 7

When we point our toes downwards the gastronemius contracts and tibakis interior relaxes - gastronemius - agonist, tibalis- antagonist

Question 8

Hip flexors and gluteus Maximus

Answer 8

When we extend leg at hip (extension) gluteus Maximus contracts and hip flexors relax. Gluteus Maximus - agonist, hip flexor is antagonist

Question 9
