All muscles exert their force by pulling between at least two points of attachment. The movement that results from contraction is called the action of the muscle. Typically, one attachment remains stationary and is called the origin and the other attachment moves and is called the insertion. Almost all muscles cross at least one joint (moveable connection between two bones) and cause an action across that joint.
This is called antagonistic muscle action. The working muscle is called the prime mover or agonist. (it s in agony!) The relaxing muscle is the antagonist. The other main pair of muscle that work together are the quadriceps and hamstrings.The prime mover is helped by other muscles called synergists.These contract at the same time as the prime mover.
