Show transcript
The upper body contains muscles such as the deltiod, biceps, triceps, pectorals, abdominals and latissimus dorsi.
The lower body contains muscles such as the gluteals, quadriceps, hamstrings and gastrocnemius.
Muscles are attached to bones by tendons.
Muscles contract and relax to move bones in antagonistic pairs.
As one muscle contracts (agonist/prime mover), the other relaxes (antagonist).
