Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A muscle group that aids in the action of another muscle is called a synergist. A synergist helps the agonist muscle by stabilizing the joint or assisting the agonist in its movement. An antagonist refers to a muscle that causes the opposite movement of the agonist, while aponeurosis is a sheet of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone or muscle to muscle. Atony refers to the lack of muscle tone or strength.
