Muscle Interaction • Prime Mover • Muscle most responsible for an action • e.g.: abduction of arm: deltoid
Muscle Interaction • Synergistic muscles • Assists prime mover • e.g.: supraspinatus assists deltoid in abduction
Muscle Interaction • Fixator muscles • Holds bone of origin steady • e.g.: serratus anterior holds deltoid’s bone of origin steady during abduction
Antagonistic muscles Action opposite that of the prime mover e.g.: lats and pects adduct must not contract during abduction Muscle Interaction
Muscle names may indicate the direction of the muscle fibers (e.g., transversus abdominis, external oblique).
