  Antagonist. Muscles that eccentrically contract to oppose a movement. ... A muscle that concentrically contracts to prevent or eliminate an unwanted action produced by the agonist muscle. ... **Performance of human movements involves multiple muscle groups to act together. Example: Lifting a glass of water.

• What Are the Antagonist Muscles?

  Muscle Interactions. Muscles work in groups to maximize efficiency. Smaller muscles reach maximum tension first, followed by larger, primary muscles . Muscle Terminology Based on Function. Agonist (or prime mover) Produces a particular movement. Antagonist. Opposes movement of a particular agonist. Synergist. A smaller muscle that assists a ...

  With reference to one of the following images, or muscle groups you have studied, describe the relationship between agonist and antagonist muscles. (3 Marks) To produce movement, agonist muscles contract to cause the major action while antagonist muscles relax and lengthen to help control the action being made.

  There are two types of muscle groups that are involved in knee flexion. The agonist muscle group that flexes the knees is the hamstring muscles: semitendinosus; semimembranosus; and bicep femoris. The antagonist muscle group that assists with knee flexion is the quadriceps: rectus femoris; vastus lateralis; vastus intermedias; and vastus medialis.

  19. The process that antagonist muscle groups must relax and lengthen when the agonist muscle group contracts is known as A. active insufficiency. B. reciprocal innervations. C. passive insufficiency. D. Sherrington's law. Activation of the motor units of the agonists causes a reciprocal neural inhibition of the motor units of the antagonists.

  Synergists are muscles that work together in a close cooperation as they either contract or relax to modify the action of the agonist. Their aim is: - To make the agonist stronger. To eliminate the action of undesired movement. They may alter the direction of pull and that depends on their power in relation to the agonist muscle.
