When the biceps muscle contracts and shortens, it primarily flexes the elbow, bringing the forearm closer to the upper arm. In this action, the triceps muscle relaxes and lengthens to allow for smooth movement, acting as an antagonist to the biceps. This coordinated action helps maintain balance and control during arm movements.
