Amazing muscles

The video explains the role of muscles in body movement, focusing on skeletal muscles. It describes how muscles contract to move bones and highlights that muscles can only pull, not push. This necessitates the arrangement of muscles in pairs, such as biceps and triceps in the arms, and hamstrings and quadriceps in the legs, to facilitate movement. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of muscle cooperation for effective body movement.
