What else can I help you with?
If a prime mover produces flexion its antagonist will be?
If a prime mover produces flexion, its antagonist will be the muscle responsible for producing extension at the same joint. They work in opposition to each other to create movement and stabilize the joint.
What movement of the thigh does contraction of the gluteus maximus produce?
Contractions of the gluteus maximus muscle causes (hyper)extension of the thigh.
What is the muscle that causes parts of the body to bend?
A flexor is a muscle that causes a joint to bend. In contrast, an extension is a muscle that straightens a joint.
Which muscle is involved in adduction at the ankle joint?
If you mean hyperadduction of the joint at the knee, it is stretching the muscle on the top of your thigh which is called the gastrocnemius.
When the angle of a joint increases it produces movement wat type of movement is it?
When the angle of a joint increases, it produces a movement called "extension." This movement typically occurs in joints such as the knee or elbow, where the angle between the two bones becomes larger. Extension is the opposite of flexion, which decreases the angle between the bones at a joint.
What is the primary function of the knee extension muscle?
The primary function of the knee extension muscle is to straighten the leg by extending the knee joint.
When the angle of a joint increases it produces movement. Which type of movement is it.?
extension
When the angle of a joint increases it produces movement Which type of movement is it?
To increase the angle of a joint is extension. To decrease the angle of a joint is flexion. (plato users the answer is A.)
What is the type of muscle contraction that produces movement in a joint and allows the muscle to shorten?
By tensing.
Muscle that adducts shoulder and causes extension of the shoulder joint?
The latissimus dorsi muscle is responsible for adducting the shoulder and causing extension of the shoulder joint. It is a large triangular muscle located in the back that helps with various movements of the shoulder and arm.
What is the difference between muscle flexing and and muscle extension?
when u flex it, it tightens, when u extend it, it stretches Flexion is when a muscle action decreases the angle at a joint, extension is when the angle increases. A simple example is bicep curl, flexion is when the hand is brought up towards the shoulder, decreasing the angle at the elbow joint. Just because a muscle is performing flexion or extension does not not mean it is contracting or stretching, that is eccentric and concentric movement. A muscle can still be tight when performing extension.
What does extension do in relation to muscle movements?
To extend a muscle A MOTION IS MADE TO INCREASE AN ANGLE BETWEEN TWO BONES.
