Which of the following movements among the nine muscle groups? Flexion Extension Abduction Adduction All are correct.
With the paired muscles along the spine, a more origin (attachment) will allow the muscle to generate more rotation and/or lateral flexion when only one side of the paired muscle is activate.
A bicep curl exercise with dumbbells is an example of flexion of the elbow joint. What would be an antagonistic muscle action to this exercise?
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?
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.
