What muscle opposes the prime movers?
Of all the muscles contracting simulataneously, the one that is mainly responsible for producing a particular movement is called the prime mover for that movement. The other muscles that help in producing the movement are called synergists. As prime movers and synergists muscles at a joint contract, other muscles, called antagonist muscles, relax.When antagonist muscles contract, they produce a movement opposite to that of the prime movers and their synergist muscles. -- I wrote kind of alot so you can under stand it just in case if you don't :)
