The muscular system: ultimate test quiz. The muscles in the body help in the movement of the body parts. Did you know that the longest muscle in the body is the Sartorius muscle while the most important is the heart? By taking this quiz, you will get to review how well you know muscles found in certain areas. How about you give it a shot and see how well you will do!
When a muscle contracts and pushes a bone, for example, the biceps and triceps
Movement is brought about through antagonistic pairs, for example, the pectorals and abdominals
Muscles are arranged in pairs, for example, the hamstring and quadriceps
When one muscle contracts the other relaxes to bring about movement, for example, the trapezius and latissimus dorsi
An isometric muscle contraction does not result in movement
A gymnast running across the floor towards the vault is using isometric muscle contraction
A swimmer using her leg muscles to 'explode' from the blocks when the whistle blows uses isometric contractions
An isometric muscle contraction is less strenuous than an isotonic contraction. This means the muscle can continue to work for longer.
