What are Antagonistic muscles and how do they work? Skeletal muscles work across a joint and they are attached to the bones known as tendons. They work in pairs, each contracting or relaxing in turn to create each movement.
What it the contracting muscle called? The contracting muscle is called the agonist or the prime mover
What is the relaxing muscle called? The relaxing muscle is called the antagonist
What are the other muscles which support the agonist called? They are called Synergists
What are tendons? Tendons connect the muscles to bone. They allow your body to move your muscle
