Question
Chapter 10, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The type of muscle that assists an agonist either by causing a like movement or by providing the stability to the joint on which agonist acts upon is:
(a) Antagonist
(b) Prime mover
(c) Synergist
(d) Agonist
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1MC
Solution:
(c) Synergist: The term “synergist” refers to the working together of two or more components. Similarly, the combined effect thus generated is referred to as the synergistic effect.
Explanation of Solution
An agonist is a muscle that is responsible for generating a specific movement. It might also be referred to as the prime mover, for example, the pectoralis muscle. Synergists help the agonist or the prime mover in completing its movement by aiding a small amount offorce or avoiding the movements that are not necessary.
