Yes they do, they're called antagonistic pairs. However, I have also heard that there is a paradox that happens when you try to stand up from a sitting position which should be impossible because your hamstings and quadriceps are both contracting at the same time rather than one contracting and the other relaxing as antagonistic pairs should work.
