Q

What is a muscle agonist?

A

the prime mover executing the particular joint movement

17
Q

What is an antagonist muscle?

A

opposes the action of the agonist

18
Q

What is a synergist muscle?

19
Q

What are the 2 types of fasicle and fiber arrangement?

A

parallel

pennate

20
Q

Describe parallel muscle arrangement

A

strap or spindle arrangement

fast movements

21
Q

describe pennate muscle arrangement

A

fibers arranged at an angle to the direction the fiber moves

for strength!!!!

A

infraspinatus muscle

25
Q
