MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Agonist muscles produce the primary movement or series of movements through their own contractions. To generate a movement, agonist muscles must physically be arranged so that they cross a joint by way of the tendon. Contraction will move limbs associated with that joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -We describe the main muscle that does an action as the agonist. It is sometimes also called the “prime mover”. Many actions in the body do have one muscle that is responsible for more of the work in that action than any other muscle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three main types of muscle include skeletal, smooth and cardiac. The brain, nerves and skeletal muscles work together to cause movement – this is collectively known as the neuromuscular system.
