How our Muscles Work Muscles work by
C ING (getting shorter and fatter) and pulling on bones. © HEB
3
How our Muscles Work But once contracted, a muscle cannot again by itself. So each muscle needs a partner to pull it longer again and move the bone back in the opposite direction. © HEB

How our Muscles Work © HEB
5
How our Muscles Work Two muscles working together in opposite directions are called A muscles. © HEB
6
How our Muscles Work The BICEPS and TRICEPS in our arm are ANTAGONISTIC muscles. They work as a pair and in opposite directions. © HEB

How our Muscles Work © HEB
8
Bending our Arm TRICEPS relaxes and is pulled longer
BICEPS contracts and bends arm © HEB
9
Straightening our Arm BICEPS relaxes and is pulled longer
TRICEPS contracts and straightens arm © HEB

Muscles get energy for contraction from R----------

Energy for Muscle Contraction
Glucose + Oxygen ----- © HEB
22
Energy for Muscle Contraction
+ CO2 + Water Glucose + Oxygen As the process uses oxygen, it is sometimes called aerobic respiration. © HEB
