7. Contraction
Muscle cells can only contract, not extend , so skeletal muscles must work in pairs.
While one contracts the other muscle relaxes to its original length.

Exercise makes muscle cells grow in size. As a result, the whole muscle becomes thicker, and therefore stronger.

9. Tendons
Tendons are strong connective tissue that connect muscle to bone.
