What else can I help you with?
Muscle that allows you to flex the elbow?
The Biceps flex the elbow The Triceps extend the elbow
How are triceps and biceps useful?
When your biceps contract (and your triceps relax), your arm bends at the elbow. When your triceps contract (and your biceps relax), your arm straightens. The biceps and triceps enable you to bend or extend your arm at the elbow.
What do biceps triceps and deltoids do?
Biceps flex the arm at the elbow, and triceps (along with the brachialis) extend it. The deltoids raise the arms.
What do the triceps and biceps muscles do?
The triceps muscles extend (straighten) the arm, while the biceps muscles flex (bend) it at the elbow joint.
Explain the function of flexors and in extensors?
these muscle groups either extend a joint, extensors) or contract the joint (flexors). triceps extend the elbow joint, biceps bend the elbow joint.
What Muscle extends in any movement?
None. Muscles only contracts. In order to extend, the muscle on the opposite movement has to contract. For example, the biceps help flex the elbow, but it does not extend the elbow; the triceps does that.
What two muscles are antagonists to themselves with flexion and extension?
The two muscles that act as antagonists to themselves during flexion and extension are the biceps brachii and triceps brachii. When the biceps contract to flex the elbow, the triceps relax, and when the triceps contract to extend the elbow, the biceps relax. This interplay allows for smooth movement and control of the arm.
What muscle is inhibited when the biceps brachii is contracted?
When the biceps brachii is contracted, the antagonist muscle that is inhibited is the triceps brachii. The biceps brachii is responsible for flexing the elbow, while the triceps brachii functions to extend the elbow. During this contraction, the activity of the triceps is reduced to allow for smooth movement and effective flexion at the elbow joint. This interplay between agonist and antagonist muscles is essential for coordinated movement.
What muscle flexes the elbow and supinates the forearm?
to flex the forearm at the elbow, you use the biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradial (to a lesser extent).to supinate the forearm, you use the biceps brachii and the supinator muscles.the biceps brachii does both motions.
What movement they cause if biceps and triceps work?
The biceps and triceps work together to create movements at the elbow joint. The biceps flex the arm, bringing the forearm closer to the upper arm, while the triceps extend the arm, straightening the elbow. This allows for movements like bending (flexion) and straightening (extension) of the arm.
What is the muscle between the elbow and shoulder?
the biceps
What is the primary elbow extensor?
Biceps brachii.
