Upper Arms
The upper arms consist primarily of two main muscle groups: the biceps brachii and the triceps brachii. The biceps, located at the front, are responsible for elbow flexion and forearm supination (turning the palm up), essential for lifting and pulling movements. The triceps, at the back of the arm, facilitate elbow extension, important for pushing actions. Together, these muscles enable a wide range of activities, including lifting, throwing, and performing daily tasks, while also contributing to arm stability and strength.
The triceps brachii, commonly referred to as the triceps, is a three-headed muscle located on the back of the upper arm. It plays a crucial role in extending the elbow joint and assisting in various movements of the shoulder and forearm. The triceps brachii muscle consists of three heads, each with its own origin and insertion points: Long Head: The long head of the triceps originates from t...

The biceps brachii, commonly referred to as the biceps, is a two-headed muscle located on the front of the upper arm. It plays a crucial role in flexing the elbow joint and supinating the forearm (rotating the palm upward). The biceps muscle is one of the most prominent muscles in the upper body and is often associated with strength and aesthetics. Anatomically, the biceps brachii muscle consis...

The brachialis is an elbow flexor that originates from the distal anterior humerus and inserts onto the ulnar tuberosity. The brachialis is one of the largest elbow flexors and provides pure flexion of the forearm at the elbow. It does not provide any supination or pronation of the forearm.
