Is rotator cuff is responsible for the flexible extensions at the elbow joint?

What allows a chicken wing to move at the elbow?
A chicken's wing has muscles that control the movement of the elbow joint. These muscles contract and relax to move the wing up and down, allowing for flight and other wing-related activities. The tendons in the wing help transmit the force generated by the muscles to the bones, enabling movement at the elbow joint.
What is locked elbow?
Locked elbow refers to a condition where the elbow joint becomes stuck in a straightened position and is unable to flex or extend fully.

What are single joint muscles?

What three muscles are involved in flexion of the elbow joint?

What are the antagonist of the elbow and radioulnar joints?
The antagonist muscles of the elbow joint are the biceps brachii and brachialis, which oppose the action of the triceps brachii. In the radioulnar joint, the supinator and biceps brachii act as antagonists to the pronator teres and pronator quadratus muscles.
Which type of joint works with your upper arm muscles to open and close the refrigerator door?
The elbow joint works with your upper arm muscles to open and close the refrigerator door. When you extend your arm to pull the door open or flex your arm to push it closed, the elbow joint facilitates these movements.
