it's called a prime mover
Action of the muscle Shape of the muscle Location of the muscle's origin and or insertion Number of origins Location of muscle relative to a bone or body region Direction in which the muscle fibers run relative to some imaginary line Relative size of the muscle
The muscle that is responsible for most of a movement is called a prime mover. It may also be called an agonist.
The heart itself is a muscle, however the heart all is made up of different muscles. The muscle knows as the MYOCARDIUM makes up the largest portion of the Heart Wall. The myocardium is made up of the cardiac muscle tissue, which is responsible for the pumping action.
The largest muscle of your calf is the gastrocnemius.
The Agonist muscle. In contrast, the muscle group that has passive action(the muscle being stretched) is called the antagonis muscle. For example, when doing a bicep curl. Your biceps are the agonists and your triceps would be the antagonists.
no
the prime mover is the muscle responsible for most of the movement in a group of muscles; called the chief muscle.
no MyocardiumThere are three types of muscle: skeletal muscles which move the bones, smooth muscle which produces waves (peristalsis) along a tube. For example, the digestive tract and muscle found only in the heart. This is called myo- (muscle) -cardium (heart).
Skeletal muscles are the type of muscles that run in a crosswise direction. These muscles are responsible for voluntary movements in the body.
The specific structure within a muscle cell that contains the sarcomere I band and is responsible for muscle contraction is called the myofibril.
