What muscle is agonist to the biceps muscle?

The agonist to the biceps muscle is the triceps brachii.

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
