Do you mean flexion and (abd)uction?? If so, the prime mover would be the deltoid muscle with many smaller muscles assisting.
If you are in fact meaning flexion and adduction, the prime mover would be the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi with many smaller muscles assisting.
What else can I help you with?
Prime mover for shoulder flexion?
Prime mover is the bicep and the antagonist is the tricep.
Prime mover of flexion of head?
The prime mover of flexion of the head is the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It acts to tilt and rotate the head to the opposite side when contracted unilaterally and both muscles together flex the neck and bring the head towards the chest.
Prime mover knee flexion?
The prime mover for knee flexion is the hamstring muscle group, including the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. These muscles originate from the ischial tuberosity in the pelvis and insert on the tibia and fibula, allowing them to flex the knee joint when contracting. Strengthening these muscles through exercises like hamstring curls can improve knee flexion strength and function.
Name the prime mover that flexes the forearm at the elbow?
It's bicep muscle.Actually its the Brachialis muscle that is the prime mover to flex the upper limb at the elbow. The biceps brachi (leymen: biceps) is only a helper and only when the arm is suppinated, suppination being the biceps primary function. Technically the arm is only the region of the upper limb between the shoulder and the elbo and thus flexion of the arm actually means lifting the humerus up and forwards. The muscles that contribute to this movement are the Clavicular part of the deltoid, clavicular head of pectoralis major, and there is a slight input from coracobrachialisNO the biceps muscle flexes the forearm (the elbow joint). The Pectoralis major is the prime mover of arm flexion. I am getting this right out of my lab book.
List of synergist and antagonist muscles?
Some of the synergist muscles in the human body are the masseter, temporalis, supraspinatus, and the extensor digitorum. Examples if the antagonist muscles are the flexor digitorum superficial is, triceps brachii, extensor carpi radials longus, and the internal intercostals.
Prime mover for shoulder flexion?
Prime mover is the bicep and the antagonist is the tricep.
What is the prime mover muscle of shoulder horizontal adduction?
Because shoulder horizontal adduction is performed when the arm is horizontal position (i.e., the elbow is level with shoulder) and adduction is movement toward the center of the body, shoulder horizontal adduction is performed primarily by pectoralis major and anterior deltoid, with an assist by latissimus dorsi.
What are the 9 movements of the shoulder joint?
Movement>prime mover. Abduction>deltoid. Adduction>gravity. Flexion>pectoralis major(sternal part). Extension>teres major. Medial rotation>pectoralis major(sternal). Lateral rotation>infraspinatus.
What two muscles are Important in shoulder adduction and antagonists of the shoulder abductor?
The deltoid is the prime mover in shoulder abduction. It's two antagonists are the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi.
What is the term for biceps brachii during elbow flexion?
prime mover (agonist)Not sure what you're asking here, but the biceps brachii is the prime mover facilitating flexion at the elbow joint.
What is the prime mover for arm flexion?
Pectoralis major
A prime mover of ankle planter flexion?
Gastrocnemius
A prime mover of ankle plantar flexion?
tiil adidas
If a prime mover produces flexion its antagonist will be?
If a prime mover produces flexion, its antagonist will be the muscle responsible for producing extension at the same joint. They work in opposition to each other to create movement and stabilize the joint.
What is the antagonist muscle in ankle plantar flexion?
Tiil adidas is the prime mover of ankle plantar flexion.
Which muscles are prime movers in a crunch?
your rectus abdominis is the prime mover in a crunch exercise or spinal flexion
What muscle is the primary mover for knee flexion?
The prime mover for knee flexion is biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus. The prime mover for knee extension is the Quadriceps â?? vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris
