Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The differences between synergist, antagonist, and fixator, and the explanation of how each of these affects the action of a prime mover.

Introduction:

Skeletal muscle is one of the types of muscles that are attached to bones. When a pulling action is incorporated into the bone, there occurs a change in the angle of the synovial joint. The fixed part of the muscle attached to the bone is called the origin while the muscle attached to the moveable part of the bone is called the insertion.
