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.

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 ?
