<u>Explanation:</u>

A volunteer muscle works generally across a joint. It is attached by strong cords called as tendons to both bones. Usually just one bone moves when muscles contract. Flexion and extension are usually body forward and backward movements, such as head nodding. Flexion: decreasing angle (bending) between two bones. Extension: to increase the angle between two bones (to straighten a curve).

"Reverse motions" require antagonistic pairs located on opposite sides of a joint or bone that include pairs of flexor-extensors. Both consist of an extensor muscle, which will "open" the joint (increasing the angle between the two bones) and a flexor muscle, which will do the reverse by reducing the angle between two.

Most of the skills needed to be an independent adult cannot be learned while you are still living with your parents? True/False
marshall27 [118]
True. 

Why? Because parents tend to teach their children based off of what happened to them as they grew up. As a young adult, you need to make your own mistakes and learn things the hard way. There is NOTHING your parents can do to prevent you from making mistakes and running into road blocks once in a while. Personally, my parents try to teach me the lessons they had to learn for themselves. However, just because your parents made some wrong decisions or did things they shouldn't have, doesn't mean that you will or won't make the same mistakes. It doesn't matter how often they bring up their mistaken situations of parental struggle, you very well could make the same mistakes. It's a matter of them (and you) accepting that you can't control everything, no matter how many lectures and acts of precaution you take. One of the most important parts about transitioning from childhood to adulthood is being able to learn from your own mistakes and taking responsibility for your own actions. 

I hope this helps! :)
