Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synergist muscles assist the agonist (prime mover) in performing a movement, may stabilize the point of origin to make the movement more efficient, and can contribute to tension at the insertion site to help with the movement. They do not assist the antagonist, as the antagonist opposes the action of the agonist.
