What structures work in antagonistic pairs to move bones?
Olegator [25]

Answer

Option C - Skeletal Muscles

Explanation

Antagonistic pairs are the muscles that are functionally opposite, if one produces flexion, then the other's primary action is an extension. Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone so that the muscles can function properly. They contract the bone making nerves deliver a message to the brain. For example. Biceps and triceps. The lower arm is moved upwards when the biceps muscle contracts and the triceps muscle is relaxed and vice versa.

In addition to storing water, the reservoirs behind each of these 500 barriers also trap sand that used to be carried to the shoreline. Dams now withhold sediment from about 16,000 square miles of the state's coastal watersheds and have reduced the flow of sand by 25%, or about 3.6 million cubic yards each year.
