The three functional roles in a movement that are used to characterize muscle groups are Origin, Insertion, & Contraction (Actions).

However my instructor argued that the key word was functional therefore the answer she felt was correct is/was agonists, antagonists, or synergists.

How do joint movement increase?

Joint movement increases through the action of muscles pulling on the bones that form the joint. When muscles contract and exert force, the bones are brought closer together, allowing for movement at the joint. Additionally, the structure and integrity of the joints, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage play a role in facilitating smooth and coordinated movement.
