What do the muscles do when you straighten your arm?
Straightening your arm at the elbow is called extension. Elbow extension is caused primarily by contracting the triceps brachii muscle, although the small anconeus muscle does play a role. Wrist extension is accomplished primarily by contracting the extensor carpi radialis & the extensor carpi ulnaris; but is also assisted by contracting the extensor digitorum, the extensor indicis, the extensor digiti minimi, the extensor pollicis brevis, & the extensor pollicis longus.
