Agonist & Antagonists
Agonist is the muscle responsible for the primary movement ( muscle that contracts)
Antagonist is the opposite muscle that must relax to allow the agonist to move a joint.
antagonistic muscles
The muscles that work as opposite pairs to move bones are called "antagonistic muscles." When one muscle in the pair contracts to create movement, the other muscle relaxes to allow that movement to occur. This coordinated action helps in the smooth and controlled movement of limbs and other body parts. An example of this is the biceps and triceps in the arm.
they are called complimentary muscles
flexors and extensors
They are the muscles. Muscles contract in pairs to move the parts across the joint. One muscle contract with more power. The opposite muscle contracts with less power and get stretched over to allow the first muscle to act.
they are called antagonistic muscles.

There are three types of muscle in your body: striated, smooth and cardiac. The striated muscle is also called skeletal muscle and it is this type of muscle that moves your joints. Skeletal muscles are attached by tendons to the bones that they act on.
Antagonists oppose or reverse the movement of a prime mover.The process would be known as Antagonistic.
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.
