Is pronator teres agonist or antagonist?
The Action of the Pronator Teres In pronating the arm, the pronator teres is an agonist. When it contracts, it pulls the radial bone across the ulnar bone thus flipping the forearm.
What is pronator antagonistic muscle?
(i) Flexor and Extensor : Muscles that bend one part over another joint is called flexor. Extensor muscle is antagonist of flexor muscle. Supinator is antagonist of pronator. A supinator contracts to rotate the forearm and thus to make palm face upward or forward.

What is the synergist and antagonist of the pronator teres?
c. Pronation of the forearm: The pronator teres is the agonist for forearm pronation. The antagonist is the supinator. The synergist would include the pronator quadratus.
Which muscle is the antagonist to flexion of the arm at the shoulder?
Pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi act as antagonists. The middle region of the deltoid muscle is the prime mover for arm abduction.
What is the principle of antagonistic muscles?
In an antagonistic muscle pair as one muscle contracts the other muscle relaxes or lengthens. The muscle that is contracting is called the agonist and the muscle that is relaxing or lengthening is called the antagonist.

Which is the correct antagonistic muscle for shoulders?
Antagonistic muscle pairs
| Joint | Antagonistic pair | Movements produced |
|---|---|---|
| Elbow | Biceps; triceps | Flexion; extension |
| Knee | Hamstrings; quadriceps | Flexion; extension |
| Shoulder | Latissimus dorsi; deltoid | Adduction; abduction |
What are the agonist and antagonist muscles in shoulder flexion?
Agonist is deltoid, antagonist is the latissimus dorsi. As the muscles contract across the shoulder joint it brings your shoulder upward into flexion as you push the ball the opposite happens and the antagonist becomes your deltoid and the latissimus dorsi becomes your agonist. Gives you the force to push the ball.
