Heya!

Muscles are the group of tissues present in every eegion of the body, with one main role, to aid in locomotion (or) movement.

How are they responsible ?

These muscles are popularly classified into two - biceps and triceps. Theuly are attached to the bones by means of tendons and ligaments.

When a body, like human, moves, then these muscles give energy to the bones by supporting and covering them at 360°.

Also, these muscles are flexible.

This aids the bones by giving them a central position, thereby giving it enough space to change its position as the person moves.

Answer:

I hope...u understand it

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscle tissue is characterized by properties that allow movement. Muscle cells are excitable; they respond to a stimulus. They are contractile, meaning they can shorten and generate a pulling force. When attached between two movable objects, in other words, bones, contractions of the muscles cause the bones to move. Some muscle movement is voluntary, which means it is under conscious control. For example, a person decides to open a book and read a chapter on anatomy. Other movements are involuntary, meaning they are not under conscious control, such as the contraction of your pupil in bright light. Muscle tissue is classified into three types according to structure and function: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
