About the type of muscle other uses Antagonist Unreferenced date December 2009 Most muscles work in pairs, and when a muscle works it needs to have an Agonist muscle agonist and an antagonist , unless the muscle s natural state is opposite to that which is produced by the muscle, example Sphincter ani externus muscle . An antagonist is a classification used to describe a muscle that acts in opposition to the specific movement generated by the Agonist muscle agonist and is responsible for returning a limb to its initial position. Antagonistic pairs Antagonistic muscles are found in pairs called antagonistic pairs. These consist of an extensor muscle , which opens the joint i.e. increasing the angle between the two bones , flexor muscle , which does the opposite to an extensor muscle . Antagonistic pairs are needed in the body because muscles can only exert a pulling force, and can t push themselves back into their original positions. An example of this kind of muscle pairing is the biceps brachii and triceps brachii . When the biceps brachii biceps are contracting, the triceps are relaxed, and stretches back to its original position. The opposite happens when the triceps contract.
