What is a muscle that immobilizes a bone or a muscle's organ so that the prime mover has a stable base in which to act?
The muscle that immobilizes a bone or a muscle's organ to provide a stable base for the prime mover is known as a stabilizer or fixator. These muscles contract isometrically to maintain posture or position, allowing the prime mover to perform its action efficiently. For example, during a bicep curl, the shoulder muscles act as stabilizers to keep the upper arm steady while the biceps contract to lift the forearm.

Immobilizes the origin of a prime mover?
An immobilization of the origin of a prime mover would prevent the muscle from contracting and generating movement. This can be due to injury, neurological impairment, or structural damage, and would result in limited or no function of the muscle. Rehabilitation and therapy may be required to restore movement and function.
Muscle responsible for most of a movement is called?

What are muscles that work in opposing pairs called?
One is the agonist and the other is called the antagonist. Agonist: muscle which is the main mover, it contracts and shortens Antagonist: muscle that lengthens and controls e.g. flexion at the elbow: the biceps are the agonist and the triceps are the antagonist.
Prime mover muscles?
A prime mover is the muscle that has the most influence in one direction on the joint it acts on. For example the prime mover in extension of the forearm is the triceps.
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.
Muscle that is primarily responsible for bringing about a particular movement?
The muscle that is primarily responsible for bringing about a particular movement is called the prime mover or agonist muscle. It is the main muscle that contracts to create the desired movement at a joint. Antagonist muscles work in opposition to the prime mover to control the movement and prevent injury.
