Why is shortcake as in strawberry shortcake called short cake?
The function of fat (that would be your butter, cream, shortening, etc.) in pastry is to make it flaky and light. Dough that contains a large proportion of fat to dry ingredients is said to be "short," and bakes up with a crumbly texture. And that's where the term "shortcake" comes from. That also explains why shortening (like Crisco) is called shortening.
What is a muscle with primary action at a freely moving joint called?

What is the function of reactor muscles in males?
Reactor muscles are the same for male and female. A reactor muscle are 2 muscles that do the opposite function (Ex. Bicep and triceps). To answer your question, the purpose of reactor muscles is to have a muscle that contracts and the other muscle stabilize. There are other terms I could use such as the muscle that is contracting is performing an concentric contraction (Contracting while shortening [Performing a bicep curl with a dumbbell]) and the muscle that is stabilizing is performing an eccentric contraction (Contracting while lengthening [Ex. Lowering a dumbbell with a bicep curl bar]). The reason this is important is because without the stabilizing muscle, also called an antagonist muscle, you would not have smooth controlled movement anywhere in your body. It would not be a good engineer and we would not be able to move are arms without looking weird. I hope this helps.
