Examples
-
Undue extension, (by extension is meant such movement as will cause the long axis of two articulating bones to assume a position which approaches or forms a straight line -- opposite to flexion), of the scapulohumeral joint is impossible while weight is borne, because of the normally flexed position of the humerus on the scapula; whereas flexion, beyond desirable limits, is inhibited by the biceps brachii (flexor brachii or coracoradialis) muscle.

The forearm is flexed on the arm by the contraction of the coracoradialis (biceps brachii), while the metacarpus and phalanges are bent by the action of the posterior antibrachial muscles.
