Yes they do, they're called antagonistic pairs. However, I have also heard that there is a paradox that happens when you try to stand up from a sitting position which should be impossible because your hamstings and quadriceps are both contracting at the same time rather than one contracting and the other relaxing as antagonistic pairs should work.

What is muscles always work in .?

Muscles always work in pairs, known as antagonistic pairs. When one muscle contracts (the agonist), the opposing muscle relaxes (the antagonist) to allow movement. For example, when you flex your bicep, the tricep relaxes, and vice versa. This coordinated action ensures smooth and controlled movements throughout the body.

Why muscles have to work in pairs?

Skeletal muscles only pull in one direction. For this reason they always come in pairs. When one muscle in a pair contracts, to bend a joint for example, its counterpart then contracts and pulls in the opposite direction to straighten the joint out again.
