An example of an antagonist muscle is the Flexor (Bicep) and Extensor (Tricep).  

Explanation:

  • Muscles always function in pairs and generate opposite actions.
  • Muscles work in pair for bone movement.
  • In antagonistic muscle pairs, one muscle contracts and another relaxes.
  • In this pairs, one muscle will be stronger than the next one.
  • The muscle that contracts is called as agonist and the other one which relaxes is called antagonist.  
  • Flexor and Extensor, Adductor and Abductor, Pronator and Supinator, Levator and Depressor, Sphincters are some examples of important antagonist muscle pairs.
  • During contraction, the flexor results in bending of joints, while extensor results in extension.
