Write a note on muscles.

Open in App
Solution

Muscles are attached to bones and help in movement.
They work by contracting (shortening) and relaxing (lengthening). When a muscle contracts, it pulls the bone attached to it, thus resulting in movement.
Muscles always work in pairs. When one relaxes, the other contracts, and vice versa.
E.g. Skeletal muscles, smooth muscles etc.
