Best Answer

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.

Most movements require the action(s) of synergists, muscles that serve to steady the desired movement, preventing unwanted movements. Ex:--the biceps brachii is the prime mover for flexion at the elbow, while the coracobrachialis and the brachialis helps the action.

It is an antagonist of the tricep. When you talk about muscle relationships you have to think in terms of a 'lever' situation and the muscles that operate it.

Which is the agonist muscle and which is the antagonist muscle in performing a bicep curl?

Agonist is bicep and other elbow flexors antagonist are all the elbow extensors ie triceps


What are the agonist and antagonist in a triceps extension?

Agonist - Pectoralis Major, Triceps Brachii Antagonist - Bicep Brachii, Latissimus Dorsi


What muscles relax when the agonist muscles contract?

in the arm: bicep contracts (agonist) triceps relax (antagonist) in the leg: hamstrings contract (agonist) quadriceps relaxes (antagonist) remember the agonist is the muscle "agonising" to do the work - like pulling the joint.


In a volleyball came when someone is serving if the bicep is the agonist What is the antagonist muscle?

Your Triceps would be as its the opposite muscle to your Biceps


Why are antagonistic muscles important?

Muscles cannot push, they can only pull which means they work in pairs in order to move, this is known as antagonistic pairs. For example with a bicep curl you have the agonist/ prime mover (Bicep) and the antagonist/ Opposing muscle group (Triceps). As the agonist contracts it pulls the antagonist which relaxes.


What is the angonist muscle and which is the antagonist muscle in a bicep curl?

The agonist (not angonist) muscle are the Biceps Brachii and the Brachioradialis and the antagonist is the Triceps Brachii.


What muscles are used for elbow flexion?

The Main muscles used when you do elbow curls are the bicep muscles.


What major muscles antagonists in a bench press?

Any time you are doing an exercise where you are pushing a secondary mover will be be the tricep. An antagonist when doing a pushing exercise will always be the bicep.


Does naltrezone show up on a drug test?

I believe you mean naltrexone. In the world of opiates, there are three major categories. 1. Agonists 2. Antagonists 3. Agonist/Antogonists An agonist is a medication, for example - Morphine, which attaches to an opiate receptor and results in pain relief, along with other actions, such as sedation, euphoria, etc. depending upon which type of opiate receptor it attaches to. An Antogonist is a medication like naltrexone, which will reverse the effect of a medication like morphine by competing for the receptor with morphine, and not allowing the agonist to work, reversing the effect of the morphine. An agonist/Antogonist is a medication like nalbuphine (Nubain) which will act differently, depending on the circumstances. If an agonist (morphine) is present in the system already, this class of medication will act like an Antogonist, thus reversing the effects of the morphine. If no agonist is present, then it will have an agonist effect and cause pain relief, etc. To answer your question, I believe it would depend upon the specific drug test, and how sensitive the particular test is for the various classes of opiates. Most tests that I am aware of check for many different opiates specifically, such as morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, codeine, heroin, etc. I am unaware of any testing specifically for naltrexone, but it certainly could be tested for, depending upon why the particular test is being done and the clinical circumstances.


When performing a bicep curl what is the synergist muscle?

The agonist being the biceps brachii group. The two synergist muscles that assist the biceps brachiiare the brachialis and to a lesser extent the brachioradialis.


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


Difference between agonist and antagonist muscle and 2 examples each?

antagonist goes against the muscle biceps brachii are antagonistic to the triceps brachi quadriceps are antagonistic to the hamstrings an agonist works with the muscle lifting a glass of water brachialis works with the biceps
