What kind of muscle not responsible for flexion or extension of the arm?
The supinator muscle is a muscle in the forearm that is not directly responsible for flexion or extension of the arm. Its primary function is to rotate the forearm in a movement called supination, where the palm faces up.
What muscle is only responsible for elbow flexion?
The biceps brachii muscle is primarily responsible for elbow flexion. It crosses both the shoulder and elbow joints and is a strong supinator of the forearm.
What muscle is responsible for flexion of the head to look downward?
shoulder
Do the tibialis anterior and posterior allow plantar flexion?
No, the tibialis anterior and posterior are responsible for dorsiflexion, not plantar flexion. Plantar flexion is primarily controlled by the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, such as the gastrocnemius and soleus.
Is concentric action of a bicep curl a flexion?
yes it is, when holding a weight your arm is extended/ extension, when performing a bicep curl your arm becomes contracted which mean flexion. hope that this helped!! :)
A muscle is called what when it gets longer?
Well the limb will be Extended and the muscle will be elongated or in "extention", as opposed to a flexed or shortented muscle.
If a prime mover produces flexion its antagonist will be?
If a prime mover produces flexion, its antagonist will be the muscle responsible for producing extension at the same joint. They work in opposition to each other to create movement and stabilize the joint.
What muscle is located in the posterior part of the knee joint and is responsible for turning the tibia inward during full flexion?
The popliteus
What joints are involved in elbow flexion?
Elbow flexion primarily involves the hinge joint formed by the humerus (upper arm bone) and the ulna (one of the two bones in the forearm). The radius, the other forearm bone, also plays a role but to a lesser extent. The main muscles responsible for elbow flexion are the biceps brachii and brachialis.
Prime mover for shoulder flexion?
Prime mover is the bicep and the antagonist is the tricep.
Is the anterior forearm muscle responsible for wrist flexion or wrist extension?
The anterior forearm muscle does not actually exist. Instead, there are a total of eight different muscles with the anterior compartment of the forearm. Their jobs are specifically related to flexion and pronation, or inward rotation of the hand.
Is kicking a football flexion or extension?
It is Flexion and Extension
