The muscle that bend one part over another is:

AFlexor

BAdductor

CExtensor

DAbductor

Answer:

A. Flexor

Read Explanation:

  • The correct term for a muscle that bends one part of the body over another is a flexor.

  • This is because the action of bending a joint is known as flexion. Flexion decreases the angle between two bones or body parts. The muscle responsible for this action is called a flexor muscle.

  • For example, the biceps muscle is a flexor that bends the elbow, bringing the forearm toward the upper arm. The action opposite to flexion, which increases the angle between two bones, is called extension, and the muscles responsible for this are extensors.
