heya!
Muscles usually work in pairs or groups, e.g. the biceps flexes the elbow and the triceps extends it.
This is called antagonistic muscle action. The working muscle is called the prime mover or agonist. (it’s in agony!) The relaxing muscle is the antagonist. The other main pair of muscle that work together are the quadriceps and hamstrings.
The prime mover is helped by other muscles called synergists. These contract at the same time as the prime mover. They hold the body in position so that the prime mover can work smoothly.
thanks:-)
