Answer 2

If the biceps stops contracting and the triceps contract, the muscles in our arms would not make their movements.

Explanation:

• Biceps and triceps are located opposite to each other in the upper arm of our body.
• Biceps contracts to pull the forearm up and to rotate it upwards.
• The bicep muscle in the upper arm contract to pull the lower arm towards our shoulder .
• To do this, the triceps muscle on the underside of the upper arm contracts and straightens our arm out.
• They are situated opposite to one another in the upper arm.
• Our muscles move only because they both are paired.
• Supposing if the biceps stops contracting and the triceps starts contracting, the entire movement of our body movements will get collapsed.
• When triceps contract, the arm straightens and the angle between the forearm and the upper arm increases.
• Though we could do few movements, our arm muscles would not make their movements at all.
