AIPMTAIPMT 1996Locomotion and Movement

Solution:

Flexor muscle bends one part of a limb on another at a joint, e.g. biceps. It brings the fore arm towards the upper arm. Flexor work antagonistically with extensors. Abductor (levator) is a type of muscle whose function is to move a limb away from the body. E.g. deltoides of shoulder.
