Synergists are muscles that work together to cause movement, providing additional force and stabilization to the joint. They assist the prime movers in producing the movement. Origins are the attachment points of muscles to stationary bones, insertions are the attachment points of muscles to moveable bones, antagonists are muscles that oppose the action of the prime movers, and prime movers are the main muscles responsible for producing the movement.
