Lab #12 Muscular System Quiz - Muscle Anatomy Flashcards
Match the following terms with their description:
Prime Mover
Antagonist
Synergist
Fixator
Prime Mover - A muscle that has the major responsibility for producing a specific movement is a prime mover, or agonist, of that movement
Antagonist - Muscles that oppose, or reverse, a particular movement are antagonists
Synergists - Stabilizes a joint around which movement is occurring, which in turn helps the agonist function effectively.
Fixator - Stabilized the origin of the agonist and the joint that the origin spans (moves over) in order to help the agonist function most effectively.

Experimenters performed an EMG experiment in which participants squeezed three different therapy balls with different levels of resistance. The data from the experiment are given in the table in the previous question, which of the resistance therapy balls generated the GREATEST EMG electrical activity in the muscle?

The white ball
Experimenters performed an EMG experiment in which participants squeezed three different therapy balls with different levels of resistance. The data from the experiment are given in the table of the previous question.
Based on the data in the previous question, which of the resistance therapy balls generated the LEAST EMG electrical activity in the muscle?
the blue ball
the white ball
the red ball
all of the balls provided the same resistance

The red ball
