Question

What type of muscle assists an agonist by causing a like movement or by stabilizing a joint over which an agonist acts?.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is a synergist.

Explanation:

The muscles that provide movement in the musculoskeletal system act in groups or pairs, such as the hamstrings and quadriceps, or the biceps and triceps. An agonist, often known as a primary mover, is a muscle that works.

Synergists are muscles that assist the prime mover by moving in the same direction and at the same time. Synergists provide a motion similar to that of the prime mover while also stabilizing the joints that hold the agonist in place for smooth movement.

As a result, the correct response is synergist.
