什么是 Muscle?

又称: contract

Definition 17.6 Primary & Middle School Biology · 第 17 章 — Bones and Muscles

A muscle is a fleshy motor attached to the bones. A muscle can contract — shorten and thicken — and in contracting it pulls the bone it is attached to. Muscles only pull; no muscle can push.

Bending the elbow: the front muscle of the pair bulges as it shortens and pulls the forearm up, while its partner behind rests. To straighten, the two swap roles.

示例

Example 17.8 (Feel the pair at work)

Grip your upper arm with the other hand and slowly bend the elbow: the muscle in front swells and hardens — it is contracting. Now straighten the arm: the front softens, and behind the arm its partner tightens instead. You have just felt Proposition 17.7 happen.
