What is the prime mover and antagonist of elbow flexion?
The prime mover of elbow flexion is the biceps brachii, which contracts to bend the elbow. The antagonist, which opposes this movement, is the triceps brachii, as it extends the elbow. During elbow flexion, the biceps brachii shortens while the triceps brachii lengthens, allowing for smooth movement.

How do biceps and triceps work together to move the forearm?
Biceps and triceps are antagonistic muscles that work together to move the forearm. The biceps, located at the front of the upper arm, contracts to flex the elbow and lift the forearm, while the triceps, located at the back, extends the elbow to lower the forearm. During activities such as lifting or pushing, the biceps and triceps coordinate their actions to create smooth and controlled movements. This balance ensures proper joint function and stability in the arm.
