The flexor carpi radialis is the agonist muscle in wrist flexion. This muscle, know as a wrist flexor, is located in the forearm.
the antagonist durinf wrist flexion is the wrist extensors
Wrist Extensors?
wrist extensor
The antagonist for the supinator muscle is the pronator teres muscle. These muscles work in opposition to each other to produce rotation of the forearm.
triceps brachii
Antagonist muscles are muscles that counteract the action of agonist muscles.Some examples of antagonist muscles are:Triceps work opposite of biceps.Hamstrings works opposite of quadriceps.The sternocleidomastoid works opposite of the deltoids.
Extension of the forearm at the elbow joint is achieved almost entirely by the triceps brachii but extension of the arm, which actually takes place at the shoulder joint, is achieved by muscles on the back, such as the latissimus dorsi.
extensorThe triceps brachii is an extensor. It is the large muscle on the back of the arm and is primarily the muscle used for extension of the elbow joint or straightening of the arm. The triceps is also an antagonist of the biceps and the brachialis muscles.ExtensorsTriceps is not a flexor. It is extensor of the elbow joint.
The anterior forearm muscle does not actually exist. Instead, there are a total of eight different muscles with the anterior compartment of the forearm. Their jobs are specifically related to flexion and pronation, or inward rotation of the hand.
The masseter acts as the antagonist.

antagonist muscle
A antagonist muscle is a muscle that opposes the action of another muscle. The Triceps Brachii is the antagonist of the Biceps Brachii.

The antagonist for the brachioradialis muscle is the pronator teres. It helps to produce opposite movements at the elbow joint, with the brachioradialis mainly responsible for elbow flexion and the pronator teres for elbow extension.
