your tricep flexes at the elbow when you straighten your arm
Biceps brachii
bicep brachii
Biceps are used in elbow flexion.
Biceps
The Triceps
The Main muscles used when you do elbow curls are the bicep muscles.
biceps brachii,corahobrachialis,biseps
Several muscles are used. Biceps brachii for elbow flexion, triceps brachii for elbow extension. Trapezius to raise arm. Deltoid abducts the arm. The pectoralis major allows internal rotation, adduction, and flexion of the arm. The pronator quadratus, pronator teres and supinator all arm forearm muscles that move the wrist. The brachioradialis, brachialis and aconeus are also used.
Function: flexion and radial deviation of the wrist, along with other muscles which flex the wrist and radially deviate the wrist, weak pronation of the forearm along with other muscles which pronate the forearm and weak flexion of the elbow along with other muscles which flex the elbow
The muscle has to have origin and insertion below the elbow. There is only one such muscle. It is called as pronator quadtatus.
Elbow flexion, shoulder flexion and supination of the forearm.
at the elbow. "Flexion of the arm" just means to bend it.
FLEXORSBiceps brachia- Primarily forearm supination, but also functions in elbow flexion, shoulder flexion, and shoulder adductionChoracobrachialis- Shoulder flexion, shoulder adductionBrachialis- Elbow flexionEXTENSORSTriceps Brachii- Powers elbow extension
Elbow flexion, shoulder flexion and supination of the forearm.
Flexion and extension of the forearm.
False
Flexion (same as bending) at the elbow joint (between the humerus and the radius and ulna) is mainly achieved by the Brachialis Muscle. This is not the answer most would expect as everyone knows the Biceps Brachii (Biceps of the arm) are what flexes this joint. In fact the biceps does both supination and flexion of the elbow because its insertion is on the radius. Only when the forearm is supinated, the biceps is able to assist the deeper and more powerful brachialis muscle with the flexion of the elbow.
