Direction- Rectus abdominis Size- Gluteus Maximus Shape- Deltoid Action- Flexor Carpi Radialis Number of Origins- Biceps Brachii Location- Temporalis Origin and Insertion-sternocleidomastoid
What is meant by the term antagonistic muscle pairs?
Most muscles are arranged by opposing pairs at the joint area. Examples are adductors vs abductors, or flexors vs extensors, supinators vs pronators, Depressors vs levators Examples of the opposing pair muscles are Adductor - Adductor longus/brevis Abductor - Abductor pollicis longus/brevis Flexor - Flexor carpi radiais or Flexor carpi ulnaris Extensor - Extensor carpi radialis muscles or Extensor carpi ulnaris Supinator vs Pronator of forearm muscles Depressor - Depressor labii inferioris Levator - Levator scapulae Hope this was helpful.
