Flexors / ExtensorsQuestion:Muscle or muscles that answers the question:Contracting both heads of this muscle (deep to the platysma) causes flexion of the head.Contraction this muscle would cause the vertebral column to flex forward—used to do “sit-ups”.As a group, these muscles extend (straighten the angle of) the knee. What is this group?As a group, these mucles flex the knee (decrease the angle between the thigh and lower leg). What is this group?

Describe a physical movement such as sitting, throwing, kicking, stepping up, lifting a coffee cup, etc. Describe the specific muscles involved in this movement using the correct anatomical names. State the type of movement (flexion, extension, and rotation for example) for each muscle that you identify as involved in the movement.
This muscle group primarily acts on the knee; involved with flexion at the knee.This muscle is involved with plantar flexion of the foot (a ballet dancer would use this muscle to point his or her toes in a dance move, and plantar flexion is necessary for a ballet dancer to dance en pointe).This muscle is the prime mover (agonist) of dorsiflexion of the foot.
Synergists / Fixators / SupinatorsQuestion:Muscle or muscles that answers the question:Name any two muscles that stabilize the shoulder joint.This muscle is a synergist in flexion of the forearm, and also stabilizes the elbow joint during rapid flexion and extension of the forearm.This muscle, besides being a flexor, supinates the forearm (performs the motion needed to turn a corkscrew and uncork a wine botte.
Locate and list two different pairs of muscles that act as on the body as agonist/antagonist. (That is, in each pair, one muscle will produce a movement, such as flexion, that the other muscle will undo, and produce extension; abduction/adduction, etc. are other ways that muscle produce opposite actions on the same part of the body).Name two muscles that act as “fixators.” (What are fixators?) What joint or joints are they helping to stabilize?Why is the biceps brachii called a “bicep,” while the triceps brachii is called a “triceps?”What is the difference between a muscle with “longus” as part of its name and a muscle with “brevis” as a part of its name?
