Antagonist
a prime mover is the main muscle that causes movement. In the case of the hip flexion, the prime mover would be the rectus femoris or the ilopsoas
The arm of a generator is turned by a prime mover, such as a steam turbine, water turbine, or internal combustion engine. The motion provided by the prime mover is transferred to the armature through a shaft, causing it to rotate within the magnetic field of the stator which generates electricity.
brachialis
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.
An antagonist is a muscle that opposes the action of another muscle, while a prime mover is a muscle primarily responsible for producing a specific movement. In other words, antagonists work against each other to create movement, while prime movers are the key muscle groups that initiate and drive the movement.
antagonist
The synergists.
synergist
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.
quadriceps
Generates most of the force needed to produce the action.
it's called a prime mover
The Prime Mover was created on 1961-03-24.
A prime mover is a machine which transforms energy to/from thermal or electrical, or pressure from/to mechanical form. Examples of a prime mover are engines or turbines.
The masseter is the prime mover of the jaw closure.
Pronator quadratus is the prime mover in pronation of the hand.
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.
