APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Antagonist. During a biceps curl, the opposing muscle group-the antagonist-is the triceps.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biceps & Triceps To recap, as we flex (or curl) our arm, the bicep functions as the agonist muscle during its contraction, whereas the tricep is the antagonist muscle, as it relaxes. As we uncurl or relax our arm, these roles are reversed, with the bicep becoming the antagonist, and the tricep the agonist muscle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The biceps are the antagonist of the triceps as this flexion is the direct opposite action of a triceps extension.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of antagonistic pairs are: ⚫ Biceps and triceps-at the elbow joint. As the biceps bends or flexes the elbow joint by contracting, the triceps relaxes. As the arm straightens, the opposite occurs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The triceps is the antagonist because it is on the opposite side of the elbow joint and has the potential to oppose the elbow flexion.
