Muscles that are responsible for producing a particular movement are called?
The primary movement is called the Prime mover or Agonist
What muscles relax when the agonist muscles contract?
in the arm: bicep contracts (agonist) triceps relax (antagonist) in the leg: hamstrings contract (agonist) quadriceps relaxes (antagonist) remember the agonist is the muscle "agonising" to do the work - like pulling the joint.
When performing a bicep curl what is the synergist muscle?
The agonist being the biceps brachii group. The two synergist muscles that assist the biceps brachiiare the brachialis and to a lesser extent the brachioradialis.

Muscles that work as opposite pairs to move bones are called?
Agonist & AntagonistsAgonist is the muscle responsible for the primary movement ( muscle that contracts)Antagonist is the opposite muscle that must relax to allow the agonist to move a joint.
What are assistor muscles?
A muscle that assists the primary mover or Agonist
What is the Agonist and antagonist in trunk flexion?

What agonist muscles are used in a soccer kick?
your muscle tissue
What is an agonist muscle?
Agonist is a classification used to describe a muscle which causes specific movement or several movements through the process of contraction. This is a term for skeletal muscles, usually. Agonists are also sometimes called "prime movers" since they are the muscles being considered that are primarily responsible for generating a specific movement.
What are muscles that work in opposing pairs called?
One is the agonist and the other is called the antagonist. Agonist: muscle which is the main mover, it contracts and shortens Antagonist: muscle that lengthens and controls e.g. flexion at the elbow: the biceps are the agonist and the triceps are the antagonist.
