Question
Chapter 29.4, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
An antagonistic pair of muscles.
Concept introduction:
Muscles are tissues that are made up of proteins filaments which are actin and the myosin fibers. They are soft tissues and they are found in most of the animals. They possess the property of contraction and relaxation and in this way they bring about the movement in a body. They are joined or they are in connection with the bones in a joint.
