<u>Explanation:</u>

A volunteer muscle works generally across a joint. It is attached by strong cords called as tendons to both bones. Usually just one bone moves when muscles contract. Flexion and extension are usually body forward and backward movements, such as head nodding. Flexion: decreasing angle (bending) between two bones. Extension: to increase the angle between two bones (to straighten a curve).

"Reverse motions" require antagonistic pairs located on opposite sides of a joint or bone that include pairs of flexor-extensors. Both consist of an extensor muscle, which will "open" the joint (increasing the angle between the two bones) and a flexor muscle, which will do the reverse by reducing the angle between two.

A problem with your proprioception would mean you have difficulty
telo118 [61]
Well, proprioception<span> means "sense of self". In the limbs, the </span>proprioceptors<span> are sensors that provide information about joint angle, muscle length, and muscle tension, which is integrated to give information about the position of the limb in space. So trouble with that would mean you aren't aware of your own body's movement, and might need crutches, a wheelchair, take certain medications, it may even require surgery. </span>

The effect of a drug that is an agonist is to?
Inessa [10]
An agonist will active receptors, causing a physiological response. (Pretty much, it acts like a neurotransmitter). On the other hand, an antagonist will BLOCK a receptor, preventing a neurotransmitter from binding on that receptor, therefore blocking a physiological response.
Agonist --> acts like a neurotransmitter and elicits a responseAntagonist --> BLOCKS a neurotransmitter by binding on to the receptor, therefore blocking a response.
