What term describes a muscle that bends joints such as the elbow?
Flexor.
Is tricepes flexor?
Triceps muscle is not a flexor. Triceps is an extensor of elbow joint. Biceps muscle is flexor.
How would you put flexor in a sentence?
The flexor muscle in my left elbow is stiff.
Explain the function of flexors and in extensors?
these muscle groups either extend a joint, extensors) or contract the joint (flexors). triceps extend the elbow joint, biceps bend the elbow joint.
Are Muscles that bend a joint called extensors and muscles that straighten a joint called flexors?
No, it is the opposite. Muscles that bend a joint are called flexors, while muscles that straighten a joint are called extensors. For example, the biceps are flexors of the elbow joint, and the triceps are extensors of the elbow joint.
How do the flexor and extensor muscles work together in the body?
When bones attached to a muscle are connected by a flexible joint, contraction of the muscle moves the skeleton. The muscle is called a flexor if the centers of the connected bones are brought closer together when the muscle contracts, and the movement is called flexion. (Biceps)The muscle is called an extensor if the bones move away from each other when the muscle contracts, and the movement is called extension. (Triceps)
Which is the agonist muscle and which is the antagonist muscle in performing a bicep curl?
Agonist is bicep and other elbow flexors antagonist are all the elbow extensors ie triceps
What muscle is the strongest flexor of the elbow?
The brachialis muscle has greater leverage based on its origin and insertion points and is stronger than the biceps brachii muscle as a flexor.
What are flexors and extensors in the upper arm?
FLEXORSBiceps brachia- Primarily forearm supination, but also functions in elbow flexion, shoulder flexion, and shoulder adductionChoracobrachialis- Shoulder flexion, shoulder adductionBrachialis- Elbow flexionEXTENSORSTriceps Brachii- Powers elbow extension
Which muscle straightens a joint?

Can you provide an example of a flexor muscle and explain its function in the human body?
An example of a flexor muscle is the biceps brachii in the upper arm. Its function is to bend the arm at the elbow joint, allowing for movements like lifting and curling.
