Question
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?
