Is the bicep an antogonist or agonist?

the antagonsit is the tricep but im not sure what the synergist is sorry : revised : the synergist in a biceps curl would be the posterior deltoid as it flexes to stabilize the shoulder, as the secondary role of the biceps brachii in a biceps curl is to pull the elbow forward and upward in an arc towards the shoulder. if you were looking at the synergists to the biceps brachii as an agonist in its usual role, then the brachioradialis would be the synergist.


Which particular skeletal muscle if they where paralyzed by botulinum would stop the victim from breathing?

If the diaphragm, the primary muscle responsible for breathing, were paralyzed by botulinum toxin, the victim would be unable to breathe effectively. The diaphragm contracts to create negative pressure in the thoracic cavity, allowing air to flow into the lungs. Paralysis of this muscle would lead to respiratory failure, as the body would struggle to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.

What is the term for the muscle that bends and flexes the elbow joint?

Flexion (same as bending) at the elbow joint (between the humerus and the radius and ulna) is mainly achieved by the Brachialis Muscle. This is not the answer most would expect as everyone knows the Biceps Brachii (Biceps of the arm) are what flexes this joint. In fact the biceps does both supination and flexion of the elbow because its insertion is on the radius. Only when the forearm is supinated, the biceps is able to assist the deeper and more powerful brachialis muscle with the flexion of the elbow.
