The prime mover is a conceptual term from Aristotle's philosophy to describe an unmoved mover that initiates all motion in the universe. Therefore, nothing performs the same movement as the prime mover since it is considered the ultimate cause of all motion.
The synergist muscle performs the same movement as the primary mover. This often depends of the position of the joint.
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.
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.
Muscles can be classified into agonist (prime mover) muscles that directly produce a desired movement, antagonist muscles that oppose the action of agonist muscles, and synergist muscles that assist the agonist muscles in performing a movement. Additionally, stabilizer muscles provide support and stability to joints during movement.

Agonistmuscles cause a movement to occur through their own contraction. [1] For example, the triceps brachii does during the up phase of a push-up (elbow extension). During the down phase of a push-up, the same triceps brachii actively controls elbow flexion while relaxing. It is still the agonist. While resisting gravity during relaxing, the triceps brachii is still the prime mover, or controller, of the joint action. For both of those movements the elbow flexor muscles are the antagonists. Agonists are also referred to, interchangeably, as "prime movers", since they are the muscles being considered that are primarily responsible for generating a specific movement. This term typically describes skeletal muscles.[2]
The spatial distribution of the windings in the armature is designed in a way such that it produce a rotating field when a three phase source is applied to its terminals. The field windings have a DC field applied to it and it is rotated mechanically by a prime mover. If the prime mover tried to rotate the synchronous machine at speed higher than its synchronous value then the power output of the generator will increase and this causes the speed to "lock" again to the synchronous one. If the prime mover applied less torque then the machine will slow down but the power output will decrease DUE TO DECEASE in the applied torque and this cause the machine to "lock" again to synchronous speed of the grid. The same principle can be applied to synchronous motors except that torque is negative (i.e. the prime mover is applying negative torque)
A plasmid performs the same functions as a nucleolus. Plasmids contain the same genetic information as a nucleolus, and in turn, perform the same duties.
Any power plant that uses more than a single steam turbine as a prime mover. It could be a power plant, or a ship for instance. They use a compound gear train to get everything going the same way at the same time and at the same speed.
Yes. Deltoid (Delta like.) is the prime mover of arm. It moves shoulder joint in forward, backward and laterally. It is a continuation ofTrapeziusmuscle. It is 'not' mentioned in any anatomy books. But you can verify it. Trapezius is inserted in inner side of clavicle and spine of scapula and from outer side of the same Deltoid muscle starts.
The ___________ press performs the same function as a hydraulic press, but at lower pressures.
