What are the classification of muscles according to action?
prime movers : muscle that initiate a particular movement synergism : muscles that have the same action of the prime mover antagonist : muscles that come into play to oppose a certain movement
What kind of muscle is a synergist?
A synergist muscle helps a prime mover muscle in creating a specific movement. It assists the prime mover by reducing unnecessary movements and helping stabilize the joint. Synergist muscles work together to produce coordinated movement.
What are the 2 functional characteristics used to classify muscles into classes?
The two functional characteristics used to classify muscles into classes are agonist and antagonist. Agonist muscles are responsible for causing movement, while antagonist muscles work in opposition to the agonist to help control the movement.
What muscle is the main antagonist of medial rotation of the humerus?
The main antagonist of medial rotation of the humerus is the infraspinatus muscle, one of the rotator cuff muscles. It works in opposition to the muscles that perform medial rotation, such as the subscapularis.
What postural muscles for the most part?
The major postural muscles are the erector spinae group in your back, the quadratus lumborum located in the lower back, the gluteus medius in your buttocks, and the soleus in your calves. These muscles help maintain your body's upright posture and stability.
What's the opposite of synergist?
Antagonist
What is the agonist antagonist and synergist for tricep extension?
Antagonist: lats Agonist: Abdominals
What are the different actions of a muscle?
agonist, antagonist, synergist
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 :)
What is the Diaphragm's synergist muscles?

What are the classification of muscles according to action?

What are synergist muscle?
A synergist muscle is a muscle that aids another by promoting the same movement.
What is the fixator and synergist muscles when kicking a football?

What are synergists of the soleus muscles?
The gastrocnemius is a synergist of the soleus.
Can anyone define these muscle terms Antagonist pairs prime mover synergist fixator origin and insertion?
Antagonist: Controls movement, opposite of prime mover Prime Mover: Main muscle that is directly responsible for movement Synergist: Aids in movement of muscle
What is the muscle acting as a helper to accomplish a particular movement?
Agonist muscles are the primary muscles responsible for producing movement. However, synergist muscles are helper muscles that assist the agonist in executing a particular movement. Synergists help stabilize the movement and control the direction in which the force is exerted.
What are five pairs of synergist muscles?
They are :bicsps, brachii,thoracis, dorsi, andmajor
