In my study guide, I have been going through notes and I am unsure of the topic on muscle arrangements. The main concept from the chapter on the study guide states "Describe the way that muscles are arranged in groups with complementary actions at a joint." So, how are the muscles are arranged by groups?

In a general sense, how do skeletal muscles produce movement?
Locate and list two different pairs of muscles that act as on the body as agonist/antagonist. (That is, in each pair, one muscle will produce a movement, such as flexion, that the other muscle will undo, and produce extension; abduction/adduction, etc. are other ways that muscle produce opposite actions on the same part of the body).Name two muscles that act as “fixators.” (What are fixators?) What joint or joints are they helping to stabilize?Why is the biceps brachii called a “bicep,” while the triceps brachii is called a “triceps?”What is the difference between a muscle with “longus” as part of its name and a muscle with “brevis” as a part of its name?
What are the components of a neuromuscular junction? Describe its role. Discuss the steps in the activation of a muscle to contract.
Three physiology students are arguing about ATP and muscle function. Tom says ATP is needed for contraction, not relaxation. Wendy says no, it is needed for relaxation, not contraction. Andrew says he thinks it is needed for both contraction and relaxation. Which of them is right and why?
1) Describe the different criteria that contribute to how skeletal muscles are named. For example you can use the names of the muscles below to predict their location, action or appearance: Abdominal external oblique, Trapezius, Flexor carpi ulnaris, Gastrocnemius 2) Describe the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall. 3) Why are the muscles of the face different from typical skeletal muscle?
How can the body regulate how much force the muscle should generate?
An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.
Write one major idea about musculoskeletal injuries pertaining to muscles cramps and strain (in your own words).
As we begin to learn about muscles, how does the "design" of the different muscles types help with their function? (ie. what kind of control do we have of each type [smooth, cardiac, and skeletal] and how that effects the role of that type of muscle).
How is a muscle designed for overcoming greater load different from a muscle designed for sustaining prolonged contraction? Include sensory inputs and motor control, energy sources, types of fibers, and other aspects of muscle contraction that you use as bases for comparison. can be presented in a tabular form.
Which of the following terms would be used in the name of a muscle that moves the leg away from the body?a. flexorb. adductorc. extensord. abductor
Muscles work in groups when they perform multifaceted movements. Write the anatomical term that describes the muscle of a compartment that performs the following action. 1. M uscle that is opposing an action 2. Muscle that stabilizes the origin of a prime mover 3. Small muscle that aids prime mover 4. Prime mover. Muscle that is causing an action
