[[File:BicepTricep.png|right|300px|thumb|The bicep and tricep are an [[Antagonistic Muscles|antagonistic pair]] of [[muscle]]s.]]
[[Muscle]]s are [[organ]]s in the [[Muscular System|muscular system]] which allow us to move.
===About Muscles===
: [[Muscle]]s are made of [[Muscle Tissue|muscle tissue]].: The [[Muscle Cell|cells]] in the [[muscle]]s have a special part called 'muscle fibres' which can make the [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] shorter or longer.: When a [[muscle]] gets shorter it has [[contract]]ed and when a muscle gets longer it has relaxed.: Most [[muscle]]s come in [[Antagonistic Muscles|antagonistic]] pairs. This means when one [[contract]]s the other must relax. {| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:AntagonisticPair.png|center|600px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:600px; text-align:center;" |When a [[muscle]] [[contract]]s it is called the 'agonist' and when it relaxes it is called the 'antagonist'.|} ==Key Stage 4=====Meaning===[[Muscle]]s are [[organ]]s in the [[Muscular System|muscular system]] which allow us to move. ===About Muscles===: [[Muscle]]s are made of [[Muscle Tissue|muscle tissue]].: The [[Muscle Cell|cells]] in the [[muscle]]s have a special part called 'muscle fibres' which can make the [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] shorter or longer.: When a [[muscle]] gets shorter it has [[contract]]ed and when a muscle gets longer it has relaxed.: Most muscles [[muscle]]s come in [[Antagonistic Muscles|antagonistic]] pairs.
