Well there are two muscles which bend the arm: bending your arm from a straight position to a bent position uses the bicep (Latin name - Bicep Brachii) which is on the topside of your upper arm. Bending your arm from a bent position to a straight position uses the tricep (Latin name - Tricep Brachii) which is on the underside of your upper arm. Both muscles work in sinc with each other, so as one muscle tenses and contracts (causing the arm to bend one way or the other), the other losens.
