Agonist is a classification used to describe a muscle which causes specific movement or several movements through the process of contraction. This is a term for skeletal muscles, usually. Agonists are also sometimes called "prime movers" since they are the muscles being considered that are primarily responsible for generating a specific movement.

Muscles that work as opposite pairs to move bones are called?
Agonist & AntagonistsAgonist 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.
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
What are assistor muscles?
