Bending an elbow is similar to bending a knee. First, your brain sends impulses through your central nervous system and throughout your nerves.

As muscles contract and relax, they pull and push on the tendons to pull and push on the bones, allowing a joint to bend. Your biceps contract and triceps relax to bend your elbow.
