appearance as argument number 1

(documentation Flexion EnglishLanguage "Flexion describes a bending movement that decreases the angle between a segment and its proximal segment. For example, bending the elbow, or clenching a hand into a fist, are examples of flexion. When a person is sitting down, the knees are flexed. When a joint can move forward and backward, such as the neck and trunk, flexion is movement in the anterior direction. When the chin is against the chest, the head is flexed, and the trunk is flexed when a person leans forward. Flexion of the shoulder or hip is movement of the arm or leg forward.[from Wikipedia]")	Mid-level-ontology.kif 11493-11501

If a kind of muscle and another kind of muscle are antagonist muscles and a motion is an instance of extension and a kind of muscleC is an instrument for the motion and another kind of muscleC moves during the motion and the kind of muscleC is an instance of the kind of muscle and the other kind of muscleC is an instance of the other kind of muscle and the kind of muscleC is a part of a third object and the other kind of muscleC is a part of the third object and the third object is an instance of animal,
then the other kind of muscleC is capable of doing flexion as a instrument
