When the biceps brachii is contracted, the antagonist muscle that is inhibited is the triceps brachii. The biceps brachii is responsible for flexing the elbow, while the triceps brachii functions to extend the elbow. During this contraction, the activity of the triceps is reduced to allow for smooth movement and effective flexion at the elbow joint. This interplay between agonist and antagonist muscles is essential for coordinated movement.
What else can I help you with?
What tissue type is Biceps brachii?
The biceps brachii is a muscle.
What happens when you bend your arms?
When you bend your arms, the muscles in your biceps contract, causing your forearm to move towards your upper arm. This movement occurs at the elbow joint, which allows for the bending motion. Additionally, bending your arms can help you lift, push, or pull objects.
What is the effector muscle of a biceps reflex?
The effector muscle is the biceps brachii.
What muscle contracts when the elbow is bent?
The Biceps brachii muscle. We just call it the biceps, though. (Pronounced bye-seps) To straighten the arm again, the triceps muscle is contracted - which lies 'underneath' the upper arm.
What is the scientific name for biceps?
The scientific name for biceps is Biceps Brachii.
What muscle is the antagonist to the bicep?
The triceps brachii is the antagonist to the biceps brachii.
What is the antagonistic muscle to the bicep?
The triceps brachii is the antagonist to the biceps brachii.
Which is the main muscle that flexes the forearm?
The main muscle that flexes the forearm is the biceps brachii.
What muscle is agonist to the biceps muscle?
The agonist to the biceps muscle is the triceps brachii. While the biceps brachii is responsible for flexing the elbow and supinating the forearm, the triceps brachii acts as the antagonist by extending the elbow. During movements such as arm extension, the triceps contracts while the biceps relaxes.
Which muscle is located in the front upper arm?
Biceps Brachii
What is the scientific name of the biceps?
The scientific name for the Biceps is "biceps brachii"
When you make a muscle in your arm you are flexing your?
biceps brachii muscle.
