 | | The brachialis and brachioradialis muscles flex the elbow and are opposed by the anconeus muscle and the triceps brachii muscle, respectively. | | | The extensor carpi radialis muscles and the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle have a similar relationship to that between the flexor carpi muscles. | | | The pronator quadratus muscle originate on the ulna and assists the pronator teres muscle in opposing the actions of the supinator or biceps brachii muscles. |

| | Muscle A is the coracobrachialis muscle and muscle B is the biceps brachii muscle. | | | Muscle D is the teres major muscle, and like the teres minor and deltoideus muscles, it is innervated by the axillary nerve and acts to flex the shoulder. | | | In the dog, both of these muscles extend the shoulder, but since the coracobrachialis muscle is minor and flexes the shoulder in some species (such as the horse), don't concern yourself with its function in this course. |
