When one muscle contracts, its opposing muscle relaxes in a process known as reciprocal inhibition. For example, when the biceps muscle contracts to flex the elbow, the triceps muscle relaxes to allow that movement to occur smoothly. This coordination between agonist and antagonist muscles helps maintain balance and control in movement.
