Triceps brachiiElbow flexion is due to the contraction of the biceps brachii, the prime mover. The triceps brachii extends as the biceps brachii contracts and therefore is the antagonist muscle.


What muscle is inhibited when the biceps brachii is contracted?

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.
