When the brachialis acts as the agonist, the biceps brachii often serves as a synergist, especially during flexion of the elbow. While the brachialis is primarily responsible for flexing the elbow joint, the biceps brachii enhances this movement, particularly when the forearm is supinated. Other muscles, like the brachioradialis, may also assist in this action, depending on the position of the arm.

What is the muscle acting as a helper to accomplish a particular movement?

Agonist muscles are the primary muscles responsible for producing movement. However, synergist muscles are helper muscles that assist the agonist in executing a particular movement. Synergists help stabilize the movement and control the direction in which the force is exerted.


What is the synergist muscle in a sit up?

Technically speaking it's the abs. The agonist muscle in a situp is actually the hip flexors.

Is the bicep an antogonist or agonist?

the antagonsit is the tricep but im not sure what the synergist is sorry : revised : the synergist in a biceps curl would be the posterior deltoid as it flexes to stabilize the shoulder, as the secondary role of the biceps brachii in a biceps curl is to pull the elbow forward and upward in an arc towards the shoulder. if you were looking at the synergists to the biceps brachii as an agonist in its usual role, then the brachioradialis would be the synergist.

What three functional roles in a movement are used to characterize muscle groups Give a brief description of each action?

The three functional roles in a movement that are used to characterize muscle groups are Origin, Insertion, & Contraction (Actions). However my instructor argued that the key word was functional therefore the answer she felt was correct is/was agonists, antagonists, or synergists.
