What muscle creates the movement when somebody touches and holds their finger on their nose?

If I'm not mistaken I believe that for this movement to happen there are two muscles that need to be used- because muscles work in pairs. For this particular movement I am sure that the Agonist muscle (prime mover), the muscle that relaxes, is the Bicep. And the Antagonist, the muscle that contracts, is the Tricep.

What is the physiology behind muscle cramps?

Muscle cramps occur when muscles contract involuntarily and do not relax. This can happen due to various reasons such as dehydration, muscle fatigue, or electrolyte imbalances. When a muscle cramps, the normal communication between the nerves and muscles is disrupted, causing the muscle to contract and stay contracted. This can lead to pain and discomfort until the muscle relaxes.
