What is muscle group is the antagonist of shoulder adduction?
the antagonist of adduction is the pectoralis major
Which type of muscle is slanted outward away from the midline?
A muscle that is slanted outward from the midline is oblique.
How do the prefixes in the terms adduction and abduction explain their possible muscle movement?
how do prefixes in the terms adduction and abduction explain their possible muscle action
Where is the gracilis loacted?
The gracilis muscle is located in the inner thigh of the leg. It is a long, slender muscle that runs from the pelvis to the shinbone, helping with hip adduction (moving the leg toward the midline of the body) and flexion of the knee.
What muscle controls eccentric adduction of the shoulder?
pectoralis major
Does Abduction move a muscle away from the midline?
yes
In which anatomical directions do the muscle fibres in the external obliques andrectus abdominus muscles lie?

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 is the intended action of the primary muscle used in barbell upright row?
