Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muscles work in pairs called agonist and antagonist to facilitate movement. The semispinalis capitis and trapezius do not serve as direct antagonists to each other. The semispinalis capitis is involved in extending and rotating the head, while the trapezius muscle moves the scapula and supports the arm.
