Which of the following muscle is an antagonistic member of Biceps brachii?
Correct answer: D. Triceps
- A. Bracheoradialis
- B. Brachialis.
- C. Intercostals
- D. Triceps
Explanation
The triceps brachii opposes the biceps brachii: biceps flexes the elbow whereas triceps extends it. The likely distractor is brachialis, which also flexes the elbow and therefore acts more like a synergist than an antagonist.

It explains the sliding filament mechanism, sarcomere shortening, neuromuscular transmission and calcium regulation, while distinguishing voluntary skeletal movement from involuntary contraction in smooth and cardiac muscle.
