When a person blinks she is using her?
Blinking uses the orbicularis oculi muscle.
What muscle is used to blink and squint?
There are multiple muscles that control reflexes of blinking. The main muscles, in the upper eyelid, that control the opening and closing are the orbicularis oculi and levator palpebrae superioris muscle. The orbicularis oculi closes the eye, while the relaxation and contraction of the levator palpebrae muscle opens the eye. The superior palpebral muscle, in the upper eyelid and the inferior palpebral muscle in the lower eyelid are responsible for widening the eyes. These muscles are not only imperative in blinking, but they are also important in many other functions such as squinting and winking. The inferior palpebral muscle is coordinated with the inferior rectus to pull down the lower lid when one looks down. As for squinting, I'm really not sure. Maybe someone else could enlighten us both on the matter! I really hope this helps you though. - Newbsauce

What is the name of the muscle that produces a movement as compared with the muscle that produces an opposite movement?
The muscle that produces a movement is called the "agonist," while the muscle that produces the opposite movement is known as the "antagonist." For example, during elbow flexion, the biceps brachii acts as the agonist, while the triceps brachii serves as the antagonist. This relationship allows for coordinated movement and control in the body.
