Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction to muscle movement in anatomy

Muscle movement in anatomy is the result of muscles contracting and relaxing. Muscles, attached to bones via tendons, work in pairs or groups to create a wide range of movements in the body.

When a muscle contracts, it shortens, pulling on the bone it's attached to and causing movement at a joint.
This coordinated action of muscles allows us to perform actions like walking, lifting and bending.
Muscles are controlled by the nervous system, which sends signals to initiate and regulate these contractions, enabling precise and controlled movements.

Understanding muscle movement is fundamental in the study of anatomy and essential in various fields such as medicine, physical therapy and sports science.
