Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Agonist vs Antagonist Muscles As the agonist flexes, the opposite muscle (the antagonist) relaxes and lengthens. The hamstring and quadriceps muscles in the leg are another example of an agonist vs. antagonist pair.
Detailed explanation-2: -Example: The flexor muscles or the biceps of the upper arm bends the lower arm over the upper arm (flexes). Extension of the lower arm is caused by the extensor muscles or the triceps. Hence these two muscles are antagonistic or work in the opposite direction.
