When the term biceps triceps or quadriceps forms part of a muscles name what does it tell you about the muscle?
LisaMWiltse
It tells you the number of origins. "When biceps, triceps, or quadriceps forms part of a muscle's name, you can assume that the muscle has two, three, or four origins, respectively. For example, the biceps brachii muscle of the arm has two origins, or heads."

What muscle pulls arms backward?
The muscles that mainly pull arms backward are the triceps. These are muscles that are found on the back of the upper arm.
How much torque is exerted by human muscles?
It sort of depends on the muscle and the length of the "lever".
Why does lifting weights make muscles appear larger?
When a muscle pulls on something, its fibres contract. This makes the muscle 'bunch up' and appear bigger.
Why do skeletal muscles need a rich vascular supply?
Blood brings oxygen and ATP, which react with one another (oxidation), to the muscle cells. The result of this oxidation process (aerobic) is energy and heat. (Most of the body's heat originates from muscle activity.) Skeletal muscles will not contract unless stimulated by neurons.
How do muscle change?
skeletal muscle that do a lot of work become stronger and larger. Some of this change in muscle size is because of an increase in the number of muscle cells. But most of the change is because individual muscle cells become larger. Muscles that are not exercised become smaller and weaker
Are Biceps are involuntary muscle?
No biceps, triceps, quadriceps and muscles that you can selectivly use are voluntary muscles.
What is the antagonistic muscle for quadriceps and biceps?
for biceps it is triceps
What is the difference between biceps triceps and quadriceps?
biceps - front of arms (muscle) triceps - back of arms (muscle) qaudriceps - muscle of thigh
What kind of muscles are triceps and biceps?
The biceps and triceps muscles are examples of skeletal or striated muscle.
What muscle work with triceps muscles to bend?
i am not sure but it might have something to do with your triceps and biceps
What is an example of a flexor muscle?
The triceps are extensor muscles.
What are 3 voluntary muscles?
Most of the muscles (or mucle groups) that you know are voluntary or skeletal muscles. Biceps, triceps, quadriceps, abdominals, pectoralis, latissimus dorsi, sartorius, etc. are all skeletal muscles, or muscle groups.
Is it true The Antagonist muscle to the Biceps is the Deltoids?
No it is not true, the antagonist muscle to the biceps is the triceps. You have to think of what muscles will have to release in order to allow contraction, another example would be when the quadriceps contract, your hamstrings must release otherwise the work of the muscles would contradict one another.
where in the muscles would you find triceps?
They are the opposite muscle to the biceps. If you bend your arm to make the muscle on the top (the biceps) bulge, the muscle on the bottom (the triceps) relaxes. The triceps is on the back of your arm, and is used to straighten the elbow.
What are Biceps and triceps are made of?
skeletal muscle
What is the shoulder muscle and the two arm muscles?
deltoids; biceps,triceps
What are the muscles called when they are in pairs?
you find muscle pairs in your legs... like you hamstrings or quadriceps.
