Antagonistic pairs refer to groups of muscles that work in opposition to each other to facilitate movement. When one muscle in the pair contracts, the other relaxes, allowing for coordinated and controlled motion. For example, in the human arm, the biceps and triceps form an antagonistic pair: when the biceps contract to bend the elbow, the triceps relax, and vice versa. This mechanism is essential for smooth and balanced movement in the body.

Which structures work in antagonistic pairs to move bones?
Muscles work in antagonistic pairs to move bones. The pairs consist of an agonist (prime mover) that contracts to produce a movement, and an antagonist that relaxes to allow the movement to occur smoothly. This coordinated action helps control the direction and speed of movement.
