Card 12 / 32:
Movements of the body occur at joints. Describe how muscles are arranged around the joints of the body.
Muscles work in pairs to facilitate movement of the bones around the joints. Agonists are the prime movers while antagonists oppose or resist the movements of the agonists. Synergists assist the agonists, and fixators stabilize a muscle’s origin.
