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 does flexion of the elbow cause to angle of the joint?
Flexion causes the angle of the elbow to decrease because you are moving your forearm closer to your bisep therefore the angle decreses. Extension is making the angle bigger for example, straightening you arm, you are extending your arm so that is where the term comes from
What are movements of flexion and abduction?
Flexion is the movement of decreasing the angle between two body parts, such as bringing the arm closer to the shoulder. Abduction is the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body, such as moving the arm out to the side.
What is the word to describe arm or leg movement the body?
*Flexion is term used to describe the movement around or at joints in arm or leg, e.g pulling action reduce the angle in elbow joint, *Opposite of this movement is extension e.g pushing something with arms bend at elbow.
What are flexors and extensors in the upper arm?
FLEXORSBiceps brachia- Primarily forearm supination, but also functions in elbow flexion, shoulder flexion, and shoulder adductionChoracobrachialis- Shoulder flexion, shoulder adductionBrachialis- Elbow flexionEXTENSORSTriceps Brachii- Powers elbow extension
Where does plantar flexion occur?
Plantar flexion occurs in your feet.
What kind of muscle not responsible for flexion or extension of the arm?

What is the prime mover for arm flexion?
Pectoralis major
Bending the lower arm up towards the upper arm?
it is called curl
Elbow flexion and extension occur in which plane?
Though flexion and extension can occur in a variety of planes depending on the body's position, if you have a body in anatomical position, then all flexion and extension occurs on the sagittal plane.
What is the term used for describing the bending of an arm or leg?
The bending of an arm or leg is called flexion.
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!! :)
In which plane does hip flexion occur?
Frontal Plane about the anterioposterior axis
What does flexion of the elbow cause to angle of the joint?

What is the action of the biceps brachii?
-Flexion of the Arm -Flexion of the Forearm-Supination of the Forearm-Stabilization of the glenohumeral joint
What are movements of flexion and abduction?
Flexion is the movement of decreasing the angle between two body parts, such as bringing the arm closer to the shoulder. Abduction is the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body, such as moving the arm out to the side.
What are the differences between arm flexion and extension in terms of their movements and muscle activation?
Arm flexion involves bending the arm at the elbow joint, bringing the forearm closer to the upper arm. This movement primarily activates the biceps muscle. Arm extension, on the other hand, involves straightening the arm at the elbow joint, moving the forearm away from the upper arm. This movement primarily activates the triceps muscle.
