antagonistic muscle

I think the proper word is, and biologists will correct me if I'm wrong, antagonistic muscles.

If uncorrected, the antagonistic muscles eventually become involved as well, leading to dysfunction of both muscle groups.

No productive movement is produced in shivering because antagonistic muscle pairs are simultaneously activated.

During flight, these function as antagonistic muscles to produce the wing flapping that allows for sustained flight.

However, antagonistic muscles are activated.

However, it is actually thought to be caused by the tendon reflex of the antagonistic muscle of that joint, which gets extended.

Antagonistic muscles are found in pairs called antagonistic pairs.

The bending of a muscular hydrostat can occur in two ways, both of which require the use of antagonistic muscles.

The circular muscles and longitudinal muscles are antagonistic muscles, with one contracting as the other relaxes.

These, in turn, synapse with motor neurons leading back to the antagonistic muscle, a flexor in the back of the thigh.

The resulting twitch is of a duration controlled by the conditions of loading and contraction causes direct stimulation of the antagonistic muscles.

In fish this forward propulsion does not require contraction of the antagonistic muscle, but results from the body stiffness and the hydrodynamic resistance of the tail.

In one eye, in two antagonistic muscles, like the lateral and medial recti, contraction of one leads to inhibition of the other.

The amplitude of movements are based upon the antagonistic muscles forces and the amount of leverage the antagonistic muscle provides for movement.

Antagonism in the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles means that it is impossible to fully stimulate the contraction of two antagonistic muscles at any one time.

Both shortening and bending involve the contraction of longitudinal muscle, but for bending motion some of the antagonistic muscles work synergistically with longitudinal muscles.

Because most major muscles have an opposite, the protagonistic and antagonistic muscles (and their related syntergistic and groups of muscles) will end up reciprocating each other's length.

Insect flight muscle is said to be fibrillar, in that it contracts in response to being stretched by antagonistic muscle, so as to allow very rapid (up to 1000 Hz) contraction.

This technique is used to strengthen and buildup endurance of weaker muscles and develop co-ordination and establish the normal reversal of antagonistic muscles in the performance of movement.

The EMG shown demonstrates the antagonistic muscle activity in the biceps and triceps of a relaxed and seated subject, with the elbow bent at 90 degrees increase in the activity of the triceps.

Although seemingly a stretch reflex when flexing a joint, force from the muscle during the attempt to flex a joint is actually thought to be caused by the tendon reflex of the antagonistic muscle of that joint, which is an extensor muscle that becomes stretched.
