How do agonist and antagonist muscles work together at joints?

Agonist muscles are responsible for creating movement by contracting, while antagonist muscles work to oppose the movement by lengthening. This coordinated action of agonist and antagonist muscles helps to stabilize and control the movement of the joint. By working together, these muscle groups ensure smooth and controlled movement at the joint.


What is the Agonist and antagonist in trunk flexion?

In trunk flexion, the agonist is the rectus abdominis muscle, which contracts to flex the trunk forward. The antagonist is the erector spinae muscles, which lengthen to allow the trunk to flex.


Relationship between agonist and antagonist?

An agonist is a drug or chemical that binds to a receptor and activates it, producing a biological response. In contrast, an antagonist is a substance that binds to a receptor but does not activate it, thereby blocking the receptor from being activated by other molecules. Agonists and antagonists often have opposite effects on a physiological process or pathway.


What is a serotonin dopamine antagonist?

A serotonin dopamine antagonist is a type of medication that blocks both serotonin and dopamine receptors in the brain. These drugs are often used to treat conditions such as psychosis, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder by helping to regulate mood and behavior.


The effect of a drug that is an agonist is to do what?

An agonist drug binds to and activates a receptor in the body, producing a response similar to that of the endogenous ligand. This leads to an increase in the activity of the receptor, resulting in a physiological response.
