Muscles (

  • What are the three types of muscles? Give examples?

The three muscle are cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and the smooth muscle. The cardiac is a heart muscle, this is one of the main muscles out of all muscles, only because it helps the heart to beat as it beats.the skeletal muscle is a muscle that is connected to the skeleton to form a part of the mechanical system which moves the limbs and also other parts of the body. The smooth muscle are the muscles that are found in organs such as your intestines, these muscles are the muscles that constantly move.
  • Describe what agonist and antagonist muscles are
Agonist and antagonist muscles are muscles that contract and relax. So what that is is that the agonist muscle
is the muscle that shortens when you left your arm up, and when you put it down the antagonist begins to get
longer which means it is extending back to the normal place how it was.    

  • What are some movements in the body and examples of the movement in a sport?
A movement that you would wanna use during a sport is a knee extension, for example you can extend your knee by participating in rugby, like running real fast or kicking during the game. Another movement that you would wanna use in a sport is the elbow extension, for this one you can use during a sport called basketball, for only bouncing the ball, shooting the ball to the basket and also to pass the ball around to the team.    


  • Choose one activity we have completed in class and describe what your task was.
One activity that helped me revise for my task was kahoot, that helped me by remembering all the things that I have leaned about bones and muscles. What we had to do was try and remember the last things that we have learned and also answer them.

  1. Hey James, thanks for sharing your learning! Your description of agonist and antagonist muscles is correct, but I am wondering if you can give an example? So when I shoot a basketball, this is elbow extension - what is the agonist and antagonist of this movement? For future posts, please try to write in your own words, and if you use the internet to help you, please reference where you got your ideas from.
