The biceps and the triceps.-McKenzie
Skeletal muscles work in pairs, with one muscle contracting (agonist) to bend the arm at the elbow and the other muscle relaxing (antagonist). When bending the arm, the biceps brachii contracts and the triceps brachii relaxes. When straightening the arm, the triceps brachii contracts and the biceps brachii relaxes. This coordinated action allows for smooth and controlled movement at the elbow joint.
pectorils MAINLY front delts and triceps, and to a lesser degree the pecs.
Skeletal muscles are arranged as opposing pairs because, although they can shorten themselves by contracting, they have to be stretched back to their former length by other muscles. An example of opposing muscles is in the arm, where the biceps and triceps have opposite actions. As one muscle shortens, the other is stretched. The biceps contracts to bend the arm at the elbow while the triceps stretches. To straighten the elbow joint, the triceps contracts, while the biceps stretches.
It mainly works the Deltoid muscles, but also works the Triceps Brachii and Trapezius.
When you bend your arm your brain send signals to your arm muscles telling the biceps, your upper arm muscles, to contract, go taut or stretch, while telling your triceps, lower arm muscles, to relax, become less tense or ease. Both of these muscles act as an antagonistic pair and work together to bend the arm. Each muscle uses the bones in your arm, the Humerus, the ulna and the radius, as an anchor.MonkeyLover-Dinda
it means when one muscle contracts the other relaxes like the biceps and triceps
When one muscle of a pair contracts, the other muscle of the pair relaxes to allow movement of the body part.
The muscle that causes a joint to straighten when it contracts are the extensor muscles. These include the triceps that work with the biceps to extend the arm.
Yes, all muscles will contract and relax, Except the cardiac muscle and involuntary muscles which will be constantly working. er. Heart, intestines. But Voluntary muscles will only work together antagonistically.
The Triceps brachii
Kickbacks primarily target the triceps muscles, which are located at the back of the upper arm. This exercise involves extending the arm behind the body against resistance, effectively engaging the triceps to promote strength and muscle growth in that area.
