  • What is the role of the prime mover in an antagonistic muscle pair?
    Produces movement
  • Match the antagonistic muscle pair with the movement they control:
    Biceps and Triceps ↔️ Elbow flexion and extension
    Deltoids and Pectoralis major ↔️ Shoulder abduction and adduction
    Iliopsoas and Gluteus maximus ↔️ Hip flexion and extension
    Gastrocnemius and Tibialis anterior ↔️ Ankle plantar flexion and dorsiflexion
  • The prime mover contracts while the antagonist relaxes in an antagonistic muscle pair

    True
  • The biceps contracts during elbow flexion, while the triceps relaxes

    True
  • Antagonistic muscle pairs are muscles that work together in opposite pairs to control joint movement
  • Which muscle acts as the prime mover for hip flexion?
    Iliopsoas
  • During elbow flexion, the triceps contracts while the biceps relaxes.
    False
  • When performing a bicep curl, the biceps acts as the prime mover, while the triceps acts as the antagonist
  • During elbow flexion, the triceps acts as the antagonist
    True
  • Which muscle is the antagonist during ankle plantar flexion?
    Tibialis anterior
  • Antagonistic muscle pairs control joint movement
  • Coordination between antagonistic muscles prevents jerky or uncontrolled movements
  • In the elbow, the prime mover for flexion is the biceps
  • Steps involved in antagonistic muscle pair action during movement
    1️⃣ Prime mover contracts
    2️⃣ Antagonist relaxes
    3️⃣ Joint moves smoothly
  • What is the antagonist muscle during hip flexion in kicking a soccer ball?
    Gluteus maximus
  • The prime mover in an antagonistic muscle pair is also called the agonist
  • The iliopsoas is the prime mover for hip flexion
  • What is the prime mover during elbow extension?
    Triceps
  • Why is coordination between antagonistic muscles important?
    Smooth, controlled movements
  • What is the role of the prime mover in antagonistic muscle pairs?
    Produces movement
  • Match the muscle group with its prime mover and antagonist:
    Elbow ↔️ Biceps and Triceps
    Shoulder ↔️ Deltoids and Pectoralis major
    Ankle ↔️ Gastrocnemius and Tibialis anterior
  • Coordination between antagonistic muscles ensures controlled, precise movements
