What joint actions occurring in a lateral raise during the concentric and eccentric phase?

To see eccentric contraction, look at the biceps curl with flexion around the elbow. As you lower a weight, you are working against resistance, letting the joint angle increase to lower that object under your control.The opposite is the concentric contraction were the arm is flexed upward to decrease the angle at the elbow.

What are the synergistic muscles of the thigh?

Biceps and brachioradialis. The bicep is the prime mover in elbow joint movement and the brachioradialis acts as a synergistic muscle to stabilize the joint, thus aiding in the motion.

Is the coactivation of the triceps necessary for proper functioning of the biceps and vice versa?

Yes, the coactivation of the triceps and biceps is necessary for stability and proper functioning of the elbow joint during movements. The triceps stabilize the elbow when the biceps contract, and vice versa, to ensure smooth and coordinated movement.
