Detailed explanation-1: -Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Muscles can pull bones, but they can’t push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint.
Detailed explanation-2: -The muscles work in pairs. When one of them contracts, the bone is pulled in that direction, and the other muscle of the pair relaxes to move the bone in the opposite direction. the relaxed muscle contracts to pull the bone toward its original position, while the first muscle relaxes. A muscle can only pull.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, to move bones in opposite directions, pairs of muscles must work in opposition. Each muscle in the pair works against the other to move bones at the joints of the body. The muscle that contracts to cause a joint to bend is called the flexor.
