There are flexors and extensors in the forearm and they control the movements of the hand and wrist.
If you hold your hand out (with the palm down), the flexors allow your hand to bend downward. The extensors allow your hand to bend upward.
It is on the bottom of an animals leg that helps it walk?
Flexors are muscles involved in flexing a muscle, like the biceps. Extensors are muscles involved in extending a muscle, like the triceps.
Flexor and extensor muscles act on the same bone. Flexors contract to bend a joint, and extensors contract to straighten the joint.
action of flexors and extensors asa pair of opposing muscles
a flexible muscle
EXTENDERS
example of flexors: Biceps when you flexexample of extensors: Triceps when you relax your arm
If both the flexors and extensors contracted simultaneously there would be no movement in the muscle whatsoever.
Flexors are part of the muscular system. Their opposites are extensors.
no. theyre extensors
shoulder depressors, extensors, adductors and abductors. elbow extensors, wrist extensors and finger flexors.
There are several, collectively called the flexors and extensors.
these muscle groups either extend a joint, extensors) or contract the joint (flexors). triceps extend the elbow joint, biceps bend the elbow joint.
Muscles that bend a joint are flexors; musces that straighten a joint are extensors.
There are around 20, collectively called the flexors and extensors.
Three - extensors, flexors, and adductors.
There are around 20, collectively called the flexors and extensors.
Skeletal muscles are found in pairs called flexors and extensors. The flexors bend a joint, and the extensors straighten the joint. Muscles cannot push; they only pull.
