Antagonistic Pairs | Muscular System 03 | Anatomy & Physiology

How do our muscle create movement? Why do muscles often come in pairs? (e.g. biceps and triceps; hamstrings and quadriceps?) This video explains which pairs of muscles can be found at many of the major joints of the body, and how they produce movement. I cover the roles of the #agonist (AKA the prime mover) and #antagonist, as well as the #synergist and fixator. I then provide a couple of examples (knee and elbow joints) and walk you through how the muscles of the joints combine to produce movement.

Most informational 10 mins video I have ever watched trust me ❤

[@miketylersport]

Wow, thank you!

[@lisamcabee1435]

I liked that you made it a pair of muscles. That was super helpful! Thanks!

Thanks once again! I appreciate your continued support.

When performing a tricep extension on a cable, tricep is agonist, bicep is antagonist what muscle is fixator and synergist. Lats muscle will be fixator and forearms muscle will be synergist correct ?

Are any of these slides on TES?

[@miketylersport]

I'm afraid not. However, there are a set of 35 Anatomy and Physiology Revision Quizzes on TES, and a few other bits and pieces. Here's the link: www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/miketylersport
