The trapezius muscle can function as both a fixator and a synergist, depending on the movement being performed. As a fixator, it stabilizes the scapula during arm movements, allowing other muscles to work efficiently. As a synergist, it assists in shoulder elevation and retraction, working alongside other muscles like the deltoids and rhomboids. Its versatile role makes it essential for various upper body movements.
What else can I help you with?
What is the prime mover the synergist and the antagonist for a pull up?
synergists: trapezius, teres major and minor, flexors, biceps brachiiantagonists: deltoid, extensors, triceps brachii
Term for rotator cuff muscles and deltoid when the elbow is flexed?
its either agonists, antagonists, synergists, or a fixator. i know this may not help if you are doing the worksheet from Dr. Adcocks lab but hopefully these narrow it down to four for some people (-:
Muscles that assist the agonist are called?
Synergists help steady movements and fixators help stablize the prime movers origin.
What are some examples of fixator muscles?
Take a complex action like riding a bike: your qaudriceps and calf muscles are the agonists (contracting muscles). The antagonists are the muscles of your hamstring and shins. other leg muscles act as synergists and muscles of your back and abdomen act as fixators to stop you falling off.
What performs the same movement as the prime mover?
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.
What two muscles that protect the scapula?
Retraction= Middle trapezius Elevation= Upper trapezius
What is the muscle that prevents bone from moving?
fixator
Which muscle pulls the shoulder backward and downward?
trapezius
Which term does not belong latissimus dorsi pectoralis major synergists adduction of shoulder or antagonists?
The latissimus dorsi and pectorals major are synergists for shoulder adduction
What are the three muscles that correspond to single trapezius in humans?
The trapezius muscle in humans is a single, large muscle divided into three specific regions based on their functions: the upper trapezius, middle trapezius, and lower trapezius. Each region of the trapezius muscle contributes to different movements of the shoulder and neck.
What is the fixator and synergist muscles when kicking a football?
water
Assisting muscles are called?
Assisting muscles are called synergists. They help the prime mover muscle by stabilizing the movement or helping with specific aspects of the motion.
