Where are most extensors located?
Most extensors in the body are located in the back of the body, such as the triceps in the arms and the erector spinae muscles in the back. These muscles are responsible for extending or straightening parts of the body at joints.
What are the hip extensors and back extensors and shoulder extensors?
a muscle that extends or straighten a limb or body part is called extensor
Most extensors are located?
Posterior
What are the basic crutch muscles?
shoulder depressors, extensors, adductors and abductors. elbow extensors, wrist extensors and finger flexors.
Extensors of the wrist and hand a. are located within the posterior compartment of the forearm b. attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus c. pass through the carpal tunnel d. a and b?
d. a and b The extensors of the wrist and hand are located within the posterior compartment of the forearm and attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. They do not pass through the carpal tunnel.
What are the neck extensors?
The neck extensors are the group of muscles located on the back of the neck that help to extend (tilt backward) the head and neck. These muscles include the splenius capitis, semispinalis capitis, and the upper portion of the trapezius. Strengthening these muscles can help improve posture and reduce neck pain.
What muscle is the antagonist during extension of forearm?

Are muscles that bend a joint called extensors?
Muscles that bend a joint are flexors; musces that straighten a joint are extensors.
What lever is the head and neck extensors?
The head and neck extensors act as a third-class lever in the body. In this lever system, the fulcrum is located at the atlanto-occipital joint (where the skull meets the spine), the effort is applied by the extensor muscles at the back of the neck, and the load is the weight of the head. This arrangement allows for a greater range of motion and speed, though it requires more effort to lift the load compared to first-class levers.
What action will occur if both the flexors and extensors contracted simultaneously?
If both the flexors and extensors contracted simultaneously there would be no movement in the muscle whatsoever.
Are triceps flexors?
no. theyre extensors
Which is the origin of the forearm extensors?
triceps brachii
