When one is flexed, the other is relaxed They work to produce opposite effects. For example, the biceps are used to flex the elbow (while the triceps are relaxed) and the triceps are used to extend the elbow (while the biceps are relaxed).
A muscle that opposes the actions of another. =] A muscle that opposes the actions of another. =]
Antagonist muscles are muscles that counteract the action of agonist muscles.Some examples of antagonist muscles are:Triceps work opposite of biceps.Hamstrings works opposite of quadriceps.The sternocleidomastoid works opposite of the deltoids.
you find muscle pairs in your legs... like you hamstrings or quadriceps.
triceps brachii, biceps brachii, pectoralis major, deltoid, there are many more but i feel these are the common ones known. ---------------------------------------------------------Recommend me if u like this.....
One is the agonist and the other is called the antagonist. Agonist: muscle which is the main mover, it contracts and shortens Antagonist: muscle that lengthens and controls e.g. flexion at the elbow: the biceps are the agonist and the triceps are the antagonist.
triceps
The Main muscles used when you do elbow curls are the bicep muscles.
the anterior part of the deltoid muscle flexes and medially rotates the humerus/ the arm. to do this it is helped by muscles like coracobrachialis and pectoralis major, corachobrachialis also adduct and flex the arm at shoulder joint.
The two main muscles of the arm are known as the bicep and triceps. When the lower arm is raised from resting position, the bicep contracts and feel hard.
Muscles cannot push, they can only pull which means they work in pairs in order to move, this is known as antagonistic pairs. For example with a bicep curl you have the agonist/ prime mover (Bicep) and the antagonist/ Opposing muscle group (Triceps). As the agonist contracts it pulls the antagonist which relaxes.
The radial tuberosity is also known as the bicipital tuberosity and is a bony marking which is the main insertion of the biceps brachii muscle. The radial tuberosity is also known as the bicipital tuberosity and is a bony marking which is the main insertion of the biceps brachii muscle.
i think that the upper arm is gonna be workinq but in the bottom is gonna be in rest.( Different Person) Your upper muscles, also known as the biceps, will contract, also known as swell up, while your lower muscles, also known as triceps, will relax. when you straighten your arm the muscles reverse.you are so stupid y would you even put answers out like that? man you whack
