Solution

ANTAGOINST ; Agonist and antagonist means that the muscle taht a contraction. Antagonist muscles causes special movement in body. it is not an intrinsic property. It helps to control the body, rotate the body, slow it down, returns the limbs to its initial position.

SYNERGIST; synergist is a muscle that acts in concert with another to enhance its effect that is compare agonist 1, antagonist a.
