  2. Anatomical terms of muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_muscle

    Synergists are muscles that facilitate the fixation action. There is an important difference between a helping synergist muscle and a true synergist muscle. A true synergist muscle is one that only neutralizes an undesired joint action, whereas a helping synergist is one that neutralizes an undesired action but also assists with the desired action.

  3. Intermuscular coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermuscular_coordination

    Joints are stabilised by interacting muscles, so called synergist muscle. Different synergists feature partial similar functions. Therefore, a certain movement can be formed out of different combinations and participations of muscles acting on a certain joint. Even muscles not being in a direct connection towards a certain joint can fulfill a ...

  4. Sartorius muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sartorius_muscle

    The sartorius muscle can move the hip joint and the knee joint, but all of its actions are weak, making it a synergist muscle. [4] At the hip, it can flex, weakly abduct, and laterally rotate the femur. [4] At the knee, it can flex the leg; when the knee is flexed, sartorius medially rotates the leg.

  5. Muscle coactivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_coactivation

    Muscle coactivation occurs when agonist and antagonist muscles (or synergist muscles) surrounding a joint contract simultaneously to provide joint stability, [1] [2] and is suggested to depend crucially on supraspinal processes involved in the control of movement. [3]

  6. Brachioradialis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis

    The muscle is used to stabilize the elbow during rapid flexion and extension while in a midposition, such as in hammering. The brachioradialis is synergistic with the brachialis and biceps brachii; the triceps brachii and anconeus are antagonistic.

    Much of those 200 pounds is pure muscle. If you check out the video above you will get a chance to see some very buff male kangaroos lounging around a wildlife park in Australia. Kangaroos live in ...

  8. Neuromechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromechanics

    A muscle synergy is composed of agonist and synergistic muscles. An agonist muscle is a muscle that contracts individually, and it can cause a cascade of motion in neighboring muscles. Synergistic muscles aid the agonist muscles in motor control tasks, but they act against excess motion that the agonists may create.

    Some foods, for example, increase inflammation, another process that affects hormonal levels. Specifically, inflammation negatively impacts Leydig cells, which are in charge of producing testosterone.
