Is the antagonist muscle one that has an action directly opposite to that of the agonist?
Yes. An antagonistic pair of muscles, such as the biceps and the triceps, allows movement of body parts through opposing motions. As one of these muscles contracts, the other relaxes.
Does morphine have both agonist and antagonist action on opioid receptors?
yes
Difference between agonist and antagonist?
Agonist works with the muscles, and the antagonist is the muscle working against it in a contraction. i.e. Bicep curl, the agonist is the Biceps brachii and the antagonist muscle is the triceps brachii.The word agonist means "producing an action" - an antagonist opposes that action. In medicine, an agonist binds to a receptor site and causes a response, often imitating the natural body reaction. An antagonist acts against this drug and blocks the response. for examples ramiels small balls and pubic hair

What the difference between Analog and Agonist?
