  1. Range of Movement By the end of this lesson, I will be able to: Understand how muscles work together to move my bones. Know the different ranges of movement my body allows.

  2. Recap How do we move? • Muscles pull on our bones. • One contracts while the other relaxes.

  3. Muscles as Pairs • Muscles work in pairs- antagonistic muscle action. • The muscle that contracts is known as the primemover or the agonist (In agony!!). • The muscle that relaxes is known as the antagonist. • The prime mover is also helped by other muscles called synergists which hold the body in position for the prime mover to work smoothly.

  4. Muscles as Pairs • A voluntary muscle usually works across a joint. • It is attached to both bones by strong cords called tendons.

  5. Muscles as pairs • When a muscle contracts, usually one bone moves. • The other is stationary. S-Cool! - GCSE PE Revision - Quicklearn • The origin is where the muscle joins the stationary bone. • The insertion is where the muscle joins the moving bone.

  6. Muscles as pairs • When a muscle contracts, the insertion moves towards the origin.

  7. 1. Extension – Opening of a joint. 2. Flexion – Closing of a joint. Range of movement

  8. 3. Adduction – Moving towards an imaginary centre line. 4. Abduction – Moving away from an imaginary centre line. Range of movement

  9. 5. Rotation – Turning a limb clockwise or anticlockwise. Range of movement
