GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscles provide the tug on the bones needed to bend, straighten, and support joints. Muscles can pull on bones, but they can’t push them back to their original position, so the muscles work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The extensor muscle relaxes and stretches as the flexor muscle contracts to bend the joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -Include a full-body stretching session every day says Harvard Health. Take about five to 10 minutes to complete your routine; or if that doesn’t fit into your schedule, break it down into one stretch at a time throughout the day. Over time you will increase your muscular range of motion and improve elasticity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle elasticity increases with aging and there is evidence suggesting that titin (encoded by the TTN gene), a protein that is expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscles, is one of the factors responsible for elastic properties of the muscles.
