what muscles are antagonist of the triceps brachii?
biceps brachii muscle
bullet::::- brachial veins – in human anatomy, the brachial veins are venae comitantes of the brachial artery in the arm proper. because they are deep to muscle, they are considered deep veins. their course is that of the brachial artery (in reverse): they begin where radial veins and ulnar veins join (corresponding to the bifurcation of the brachial artery). they end at the inferior border of the teres major muscle. at this point, the brachial veins join the basilic vein to form the axillary vein. the brachial veins also have small tributaries that drain the muscles of the upper arm, such as biceps brachii muscle and triceps brachii muscle.
glossary of medicine
"agonist" muscles cause a movement to occur through their own activation. for example, the triceps brachii contracts, producing a shortening contraction, during the up phase of a push-up (elbow extension). during the down phase of a push-up, the same triceps brachii actively controls elbow flexion while producing a lengthening contraction. it is still the agonist, because while resisting gravity during relaxing, the triceps brachii continues to be the prime mover, or controller, of the joint action. agonists are also interchangeably referred to as "prime movers," since they are the muscles considered primarily responsible for generating or controlling a specific movement.
