synergist
A synergist is something—often a substance, muscle or methodology—that collaboratively works with others to enhance or amplify an overall effect. In pharmacology, a synergist can increase the potency of drugs. In physiology, synergist muscles work together to enable movement. In a broader context, such as in team dynamics or business strategy, synergists are individuals or elements that effectively collaborate to achieve a common goal.

Synergist
A Synergist is a kind of muscle that performs, or helps perform, the same set of joint motion as the agonists. Synergists muscles act on movable joints. Synergists are sometimes referred to as "neutralizers" because they help cancel out, or neutralize, extra motion from the agonists to make sure that the force generated works within the desired plane of motion. Muscle fibres can only contract up to 40% of their fully stretched length. Thus the short fibres of pennate muscles are more suitable where power rather than range of contraction is required. This limitation in the range of contraction affects all muscles, and those that act over several joints may be unable to shorten sufficiently to produce the full range of movement at all of them simultaneously. Likewise, the opposing muscles may be unable to stretch sufficiently to allow such movement to take place. For both these reasons, it is often essential to use other muscles, called fixators or synergists, in this type of action to fix certain of the joints so that others can be move effectively, e.g., fixation of the wrist during full flexion of the fingers in clenching the fist. Synergists are muscles that facilitate the fixation action.
