Standing in the correct anatomical position, several of the anterior forearm muscles aid in flexion of the wrist. Where would the muscles be located that are considered antagonists to the wrist flexors? on the same side as the flexors O on the lateral side of the forearm O the forearm flexors do not have antagonist muscles O on the posterior side of the forearm

Explanation / Answer

The antagonist muscles are a pair of muscles, in which while one muscle contracts, the other muscle relaxes.

In case of the forearm, Biceps and triceps are the antagonist muscles. During the flexion, the biceps contracts, while the triceps which is found on the posterior side of the forearm relaxes.
