    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_muscle

    Agonist muscles are also called prime movers since they produce most of the force, and control of an action. [6] Agonists cause a movement to occur through their own activation. [7] For example, the triceps brachii contracts, producing a shortening (concentric) contraction, during the up phase of a push-up (elbow extension).

    The muscle can be assumed to occur in both genders. This gender denomination should always be behind the number, not in front of it. TA The number of rows in the table for the relevant Terminologia Anatomica muscle. For example, TA splits the nasalis muscle into transverse and alar parts, so their TA column entries are 2.

  4. Beta-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-adrenergic_agonist

    Most agonists of the beta receptors are selective for one or more beta-adrenoreceptors. For example, patients with low heart rate are given beta agonist treatments that are more "cardio-selective" such as dobutamine, which increases the force of contraction of the heart muscle.

  5. Beta2-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta2-adrenergic_agonist

    Beta 2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β 2 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that act on the β 2 adrenergic receptor. Like other β adrenergic agonists , they cause smooth muscle relaxation. β 2 adrenergic agonists' effects on smooth muscle cause dilation of bronchial passages , vasodilation in muscle and liver ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_receptor

    The adrenergic receptors or adrenoceptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of many catecholamines like norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) produced by the body, but also many medications like beta blockers, beta-2 (β 2) antagonists and alpha-2 (α 2) agonists, which are used to treat high ...

  7. Ballistic movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_movement

    Fast single joints movement in humans is controlled by a series of activation of agonist, antagonist and then agonist muscles; this process is called triphasic activation. Those movements are executed “with a pattern of bursts in the agonist and antagonist muscles of fairly constant duration but different amplitude…” (Acornero et al. 1984 ...

  9. Alpha-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-adrenergic_agonist

    Alpha-adrenergic agonists are a class of sympathomimetic agents that selectively stimulates alpha adrenergic receptors. The alpha-adrenergic receptor has two subclasses α 1 and α 2 . Alpha 2 receptors are associated with sympatholytic properties.
