I’m pretty certain it’s not the supinator teres or pronator teres, so it has to be either the biceps or triceps. I’ll go with triceps.

I’m a bit confused because I know the biceps brachii flexes the elbow, but does it also extend?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the answer was definitely the triceps brachii.

I think the triceps brachii is the one that extends the elbow, but I’m not completely sure.
