Chapter 12.1, Problem 2AWYK
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for the presence of prime movers of finger extension and flexion in the forearm.
Introduction:
Muscle is a soft tissue that is found in almost all animals. The cells of the muscles contain protein filaments made up of actin and myosin that slide over each other. Due to this, contraction is produced, which results in the change in the shape and length of the cell. The main function of the muscles is to provide force and motion in the body.
