Question
Synergists / Fixators / Supinators
Question:
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.
