While doing work and running, you move your organs like hands, legs etc.Which among the following is correct?
(a) Smooth muscles contract and pull the ligament to move the bones
(b) Smooth muscles contract and pull the tendons to move the bones
(c) Skeletal muscles contract and pull the ligament to move the bones
(d) Skeletal muscles contract and pull the tendon to move the bones
Answer- (d)
Solution- All the statements are incorrect except the statement- (d) Skeletal muscles contract and pull the tendon to move the bones.
Smooth muscles are located in the organs like urinary bladder, uterus, respiratory tract, etc. These muscles are not connected to bones and do not function in movements like walking and running. Skeletal muscles attach directly to the skeleton that causes the movement of muscles with bones. The skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons. When the skeletal muscles contract, it pulls the tendon attached to the bone, leading to the movement of bones.
The correct option is- (d)- Skeletal muscles contract and pull the tendon to move the bones
