the agonist of the muscle is a motion that contracts the body to move in its opposition the antagonist is the muscle that causes movement of the posterior and anterior terms of the human body.
Muscles stabilize joint by supporting the movement of the joints. Joint in the bones are not able to move alone. The muscles support weight from applying pressure to the joint which protects the joint from damage.
there are two types of joints, immovable and movable, immovable is when u cant control the muscles, such as ur digestive system. movable is when u can control the muscles, such as flipping a book. =)
bones have 4 main functions, they hold up the body, ( so it is not a blob of living ooze ) the marrow inside them produces blood, bones like the rib cage protect vital organs like the heart, and bones also give muscles something to hold on to. joints allow bones to move.
Equilibrium and the activities of muscles and joints are monitored by proprioceptors. Proprioceptors can be found in joints and skeletal striated muscles.proprioceptorsproprioceptors
The muscles attach on the inside of these coverings at flexible joints.
prime movers : muscle that initiate a particular movement synergism : muscles that have the same action of the prime mover antagonist : muscles that come into play to oppose a certain movement
This is not possible. The spinal cord is wired so that when an extensor muscle contracts, a flexor muscle must relax. It is not possible to contract antagonizing muscle groups at the same time.
In human anatomy, an antagonist is a muscle that opposes the action of another muscle, which is called the agonist. Antagonist muscles work in coordination with agonist muscles to produce smooth and controlled movements around joints. They help to stabilize the joint and prevent excessive or uncontrolled movement.
there are upto four functional groups of muscles acting on joints. 1 agonist: actively contract to make a movement. muscle length reduces. 2. antagonist: resists the muscle on opposite side, thereby controls the speed of the agonist muscle contraction. that's why they say both agonist and antagonist muscles are working in pairs. furthermore when the movement is reversed the original agonist becomes the antagonist and the original antogonist becomes the agonist. hence antagonist pairs. right? 3. stabilisers: some muscles will hold the joint area stable while other three types of muscles are making a movement. 4. modifiers: some muscles can slightly change the direction of force exerted by agonists dynamically.
The hamstring and gluteal (buttocks) muscles.
Joints
Muscles.
The antagonist muscles of the elbow joint are the biceps brachii and brachialis, which oppose the action of the triceps brachii. In the radioulnar joint, the supinator and biceps brachii act as antagonists to the pronator teres and pronator quadratus muscles.
Bones are held together by joints and muscles and tissue.
Joints or muscles, I believe.
muscles pull on each other.also they are put together by joints
There are more than 600 muscles that move together to move your body! ---Bones form the structure for our body, while muscles are responsible for pulling the joints, allowing us to move. The cartilage, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, all working as one holding bones together and letting joints move. Muscles connect the joints to the bones. Flexing of the muscles and the ability to bend at the joints moves the bones to accomplish skilled body motions?
