Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synergists are muscles that work together with the agonist to stabilize a joint and help produce movement. They do not necessarily relax when the agonist contracts or have a direct role in muscle tone. Isometric contraction can occur in both agonist and synergist muscles, so it is not a defining characteristic of synergists.
