Triceps
i done no
When you flex your arm your biceps contract, and your triceps extend. And when you unflex your arm the triceps contract and you biceps extend. The muscles work together to allow you to move your body.
The triceps is the muscles that allows the human beings to raise their arms laterally. By doing this it allows the humerus clear.
The triceps muscles extend (straighten) the arm, while the biceps muscles flex (bend) it at the elbow joint.
There are several muscles involved in bending the arm, and several others used to extend the arm. Muscles can only PULL; they cannot push or twist.
The muscles in your arm never expand; so when you bend your arm, your biceps contract as your triceps return to their regular form. When you extend your arm, you triceps contract as your biceps return to their regular form.
To move your arm without using the upper arm at the shoulder, you would need to rely on the muscles in your forearm and hand to create the movement. By using the muscles in your forearm, you can flex and extend your elbow, allowing you to move your lower arm without involving the upper arm at the shoulder joint.
No, they can also contract, they do every time you use them to move an arm, a leg, etc..
The muscles responsible for flexing and extending your lower leg are the quadriceps and hamstrings, while the muscles responsible for flexing and extending your upper arms are the biceps and triceps, respectively. These muscle groups work in opposition to each other to facilitate these movements.
no it isnt because the arm is bent by the flexor muscles (mostly just the biceps), and straightened by the extensor muscles (ie. the triceps).
The arm in common language refers to upper limb as a whole. To stretch it, we need to abduct the arm and extend the elbow. Supraspinatus and deltoid will abduct the arm, while triceps is gonna extend the elbow. Anything more?
