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.
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
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.
What are the agonist and antagonist in a triceps extension?
Agonist - Pectoralis Major, Triceps Brachii Antagonist - Bicep Brachii, Latissimus Dorsi
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
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.
Which muscle is an antagonist to your triceps?
the bicep
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
What muscle is the antagonist to the bicep?
The triceps brachii is the antagonist to the biceps brachii.
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.
An example of an antagonist muscle is?
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.
What is the antagonistic muscle to the bicep?
The triceps brachii is the antagonist to the biceps brachii.
