The lengthening of a muscle is called 'relaxing'. As the SHORT muscles work antagonistically- when one contracts, one relaxes. Therefore as one muscle shortens the other lengthens. This is between the bicep and tricep and the hamstring and quadricep. When a muscle shortens it also thickens, this is why you can feel your muscle rise when you bring your arm towards you.

How does muscle work by shortening or lengthening?
Muscles are comprised of contractile proteins; therefore, the ability to contract is present in their chemical composition.
