bones,muscles and Joints
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ligaments | A soft tissue that connects Bone to Bone |
| Agonist | the muscle primarily responsible for producing movement |
| Antagonist | the muscle that relaxes as the agonist contracts to allow ease of movement and minimise the risk of injury |
| Reciprocal Inhibition | When muscles on one side of a bone or joint relax to accommodate contraction on the other side of the bone or joint |
| stabilisers | muscles that act to stabilise the bone where the prime mover is acting to allow efficency of movement and maximal contractile force to be developed if required |
