In a squat, the synergist muscles assist the primary movers, which are primarily the quadriceps and gluteus maximus. Key synergists include the hamstrings, adductors, and the muscles of the lower back, which help stabilize the hips and spine during the movement. These muscles contribute to overall balance and control, ensuring an effective and safe squat execution.
Yes, it is a secondary muscle (synergist/stabilizer) used in the squat. There is a link below in which you can get a chart of the muscles used in a squat: go down about halfway and you'll see the chart.

Body weight squat, goblet squat, zombie squat, front squat, and back squat

Latissimus dorsi is the synergist of the teres major.Specifically, a synergist is a muscle which acts with another. The latissimus dorsi helps adduct and rotate the shoulder to elbow bone called the humerus. The teres major is a shoulder-related muscle.
