1 Answer

Answer :

The lengthening of a muscle is called 'relaxing'. As the SHORTmuscles work antagonistically- when one contracts, one relaxes.Therefore as one muscle shortens the other lengthens. This isbetween the bicep and tricep and the hamstring and quadricep. Whena muscle shortens it also thickens, this is why you can feel yourmuscle rise when you bring your arm towards you.
