Because of reciprocal inhibition,which of the following muscles is inhibited when radial deviation of the hand at the wrist joint occurs?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reciprocal inhibition occurs when one muscle contracts and its antagonist muscle is inhibited. Radial deviation is produced by the contraction of the wrist extensors, including the extensor carpi radialis longus. Therefore, the antagonist muscle group, the wrist flexors, including the flexor carpi ulnaris, would be inhibited. This allows for smooth and coordinated movement of the wrist joint.
