What are the antagonist muscles of the shoulder?
antagonistic: anterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, serratus anterior, teres minor, posterior deltoid, infraspinatus.
What muscles are used in shoulder flexion?
The muscles involved in the flexion movement include the anterior deltoid, pectoralis major and coracobrachialis. For a shoulder extension, your body uses the latissimus dorsi, teres major and minor and posterior deltoid muscles.
What is the antagonist for flexion?
triceps
During flexing of the forearm, the triceps brachii is the antagonist muscle, resisting the movement of the forearm up towards the shoulder.
What is the antagonist of shoulder extension?
Muscles that have their origins in the posterior (back of) shoulder joint extend the arm. These muscles include the latissimus dorsi and posterior fibres of the deltoids, with both acting as the prime mover. Teres major also assists this action. Pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi act as antagonists.
Which muscle is the antagonist to flexion of the arm at the shoulder quizlet?
Antagonist on flexion. Deltoid[posterior fibers], Latissimus Dorsi, Teres Major, Pectoralis Major[lower fibers], Triceps Brachii[long head]. Antagonist on horizontal ADduction.
What are agonist and antagonist muscles?
In an antagonistic muscle pair as one muscle contracts the other muscle relaxes or lengthens. The muscle that is contracting is called the agonist and the muscle that is relaxing or lengthening is called the antagonist.
What are the agonist and antagonist muscles in shoulder flexion?
Agonist is deltoid, antagonist is the latissimus dorsi. As the muscles contract across the shoulder joint it brings your shoulder upward into flexion as you push the ball the opposite happens and the antagonist becomes your deltoid and the latissimus dorsi becomes your agonist. Gives you the force to push the ball.
