∙ 9y agoTeres minor muscle is part of the rotator cuff system. This rotator cuff has been fascinating me for years. Here the four muscles continue to hold the head of the humerus tightly. So that it should not get dislocated during all types of moments. So they act as 'contracting ligaments'. Both the teres major and minor muscles arise from outer border of the scapula bone. Minor from above and major from below. The teres major muscle is inserted on the medial lip of the bicipital groove. The great and senior teacher from US is requested to comment on the action of teres major muscle.

What is antagonist to the teres minor?
The teres major muscle is considered to be antagonistic to the teres minor muscle. The teres major muscle is a larger muscle located in the upper arm that works to extend, medially rotate, and adduct the arm, while the teres minor muscle is a smaller muscle that works to laterally rotate the arm.
Teres major antagonist?
The teres major muscle functions in both adduction and medial rotation of the humerus. The antagonists of this muscle are those which abduct the humerus and rotate it externally. The infraspinatus, posterior deltoid, and teres minor all function as antagonists of the teres major.
What is the synergist of latissimus dorsi?
The muscle of the pectoralis is antagonist to the latissimus dorsi during the shoulder adduction. The anterior fibers are involved in shoulder abduction when the shoulder is externally rotated.
What is the antagonist for the supinator?
The antagonist for the supinator muscle is the pronator teres muscle. These muscles work in opposition to each other to produce rotation of the forearm.

What is the Antagonist for the Brachioradialis?
The antagonist for the brachioradialis muscle is the pronator teres. It helps to produce opposite movements at the elbow joint, with the brachioradialis mainly responsible for elbow flexion and the pronator teres for elbow extension.
What is the antagonist of the anterior deltoid muscle?
The antagonist of teres minor is: To medial rotation: latissimus dorsi, long head of triceps, pectoralis major, subscapularis. In Extension of humerus: latissimus dorsi, posterior deltoid and long head of triceps
