antagonist
when you bend your elbow, what is the triceps muscle acting as in relation to the biceps muscle
An Antagonist
It is paired with the biceps brachii. The triceps extends the forearm and the biceps flexes it. ("making a muscle")
The triceps and biceps are antagonistic muscle groups; the triceps straighten the arm and the biceps pull it in the opposite way. Therefore, when the triceps contract, the biceps lengthen.
for biceps it is triceps
biceps - front of arms (muscle) triceps - back of arms (muscle) qaudriceps - muscle of thigh
i am not sure but it might have something to do with your triceps and biceps
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.
true
Triceps :)
Antagonists of the biceps are triceps (the three head muscle). Biceps flex and triceps extend.
