Identify both the synergist adn antagonist muscles that work at the following joints
a. neck and spine
b. hip
c. knee
d. ankle
e. toes
f. scapula
g. shoulder
h. elbow

j. fingers
Solution
ANTAGOINST ; Agonist and antagonist means that the muscle taht a contraction. Antagonist
muscles causes special movement in body. it is not an intrinsic property. It helps to control the
body, rotate the body, slow it down, returns the limbs to its initial position.
SYNERGIST; synergist is a muscle that acts in concert with another to enhance its effect that is
compare agonist 1, antagonist a.
