Introduction:

Anatomical compartments are formed by the virtue of the dense fibrous connective tissue. The muscles located in the same compartment are involved in similar actions and generally work as synergists of each other. The muscles found in the opposite compartments exhibit opposite reactions and hence, work as agonist or antagonist of each other.
