- This muscle is the major “antagonist” of the muscles that flex the forearm. (What is an “antagonist?”)This muscle affects the scapula, and would be involved with “shrugging” the shoulders (shrugging the shoulders is lifting them up in an “I don’t know…” posture).This muscle could bring the arm downward in a power stroke, as if to strike a blow.arrow_forwardExplain how a synergist assists an agonist by being afixator.arrow_forwardThis 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.arrow_forward

Achilles tendon hamstring myofascial shin splintarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about movement and locomotion isfalse?a. Terrestrial animals and flying animals expend energy to provide lift.b. Swimming animals expend energy to provide thrust but not lift.c. Flexors and extensors are examples of muscles called agonists.d. Flexors cause bending at a joint.e. Extensors cause straightening of a limb.arrow_forwardAn isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forward
