When the term biceps triceps or quadriceps forms part of a muscles name what does it tell you about the muscle?
It tells you the number of origins. "When biceps, triceps, or quadriceps forms part of a muscle's name, you can assume that the muscle has two, three, or four origins, respectively. For example, the biceps brachii muscle of the arm has two origins, or heads."

What else can I help you with?
What muscle pulls arms backward?
The latissimus dorsi muscle is responsible for pulling the arms backward. It is a large muscle that spans the back and attaches to the upper arm bone, allowing it to perform movements like pulling and reaching.
What is the amount of force muscles can produce?
No
What are the levers of lunges?
The primary muscles involved in lunges are the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Additionally, the core muscles are engaged to stabilize the body during the movement. Proper form and technique are important to ensure these muscle groups are activated effectively and to prevent injury.
Why does not the patellar reflex happen when your leg is straight?
When the leg is straight, the muscle spindle receptors in the quadriceps muscle are not stretched enough to stimulate a reflex response. The reflex occurs when the muscle is quickly lengthened, activating the sensory receptors in the muscle and sending a signal to the spinal cord to trigger a reflexive contraction of the quadriceps muscle.
What is the large muscle group that should be mainly used when lifting pushing or pulling an object person or thing?
The large muscle group that should be mainly used when lifting, pushing, or pulling objects is the muscles of the lower body, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. These muscles provide stability, power, and support during such movements.
Are Biceps are involuntary muscle?
No biceps, triceps, quadriceps and muscles that you can selectivly use are voluntary muscles.
What is the antagonistic muscle for quadriceps and biceps?
for biceps it is triceps
What is the difference between biceps triceps and quadriceps?
biceps - front of arms (muscle) triceps - back of arms (muscle) qaudriceps - muscle of thigh
What kind of muscles are triceps and biceps?
The biceps and triceps muscles are examples of skeletal or striated muscle.
What muscle work with triceps muscles to bend?
i am not sure but it might have something to do with your triceps and biceps
What is an example of a flexor muscle?
The triceps are extensor muscles.
What are 3 voluntary muscles?
Most of the muscles (or mucle groups) that you know are voluntary or skeletal muscles. Biceps, triceps, quadriceps, abdominals, pectoralis, latissimus dorsi, sartorius, etc. are all skeletal muscles, or muscle groups.
Is it true The Antagonist muscle to the Biceps is the Deltoids?
No it is not true, the antagonist muscle to the biceps is the triceps. You have to think of what muscles will have to release in order to allow contraction, another example would be when the quadriceps contract, your hamstrings must release otherwise the work of the muscles would contradict one another.
where in the muscles would you find triceps?
They are the opposite muscle to the biceps. If you bend your arm to make the muscle on the top (the biceps) bulge, the muscle on the bottom (the triceps) relaxes. The triceps is on the back of your arm, and is used to straighten the elbow.
What are Biceps and triceps are made of?
skeletal muscle
What is the shoulder muscle and the two arm muscles?
deltoids; biceps,triceps
What are the muscles called when they are in pairs?
you find muscle pairs in your legs... like you hamstrings or quadriceps.
