Which of the following statements are true? Multiple Choice Muscles work in antagonistic pairs because if one muscle shortens during contraction, the opposing muscle across the joint must relax. Muscles work in antagonistic pairs because tendons lengthen during contraction. Muscles work in antagonistic pairs because muscles lengthen during contraction. Muscles work in antagonistic pairs because if one muscle pushes during contraction, the opposing muscle across the joint must pull.
