  2. Biceps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biceps

    The biceps is one of three muscles in the anterior compartment of the upper arm, along with the brachialis muscle and the coracobrachialis muscle, with which the biceps shares a nerve supply. [1] The biceps muscle has two heads, the short head and the long head, distinguished according to their origin at the coracoid process and supraglenoid ...

  3. Biceps femoris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biceps_femoris_muscle

    The biceps femoris (/ ˈ b aɪ s ɛ p s ˈ f ɛ m ər ɪ s /) is a muscle of the thigh located to the posterior, or back. As its name implies, it consists of two heads; the long head is considered part of the hamstring muscle group, while the short head is sometimes excluded from this characterization, as it only causes knee flexion (but not hip extension) [1] and is activated by a separate ...

  4. Biceps tendon rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biceps_tendon_rupture

    The long head is more lateral and highlighted in red. A biceps tendon rupture or bicep tear is a complete or partial rupture of a tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. It can affect any of the three biceps brachii tendons - the proximal tendon of the short head of the muscle belly, the proximal tendon of the long head of the muscle belly, or the ...

    Rupture of the SHORT HEAD of the biceps can decrease elbow flexion strength, where the brachialis muscle is intact. Rupture of the LONG HEAD of the biceps results in mild weakening of forearm supination as long as the supinator muscle is intact. Electromyography test is negative. [7]

  6. Medial bicipital groove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_bicipital_groove

    Medial Bicipital Groove visible between postero-medial border of the short head of biceps brachii and anteromedial border of long head of triceps brachii. The medial bicipital groove is seen on the surface anatomy of the upper arm. It is formed by the longitudinal hollow between the biceps and triceps muscles. The pulse of the brachial artery ...

  7. Bicipital groove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicipital_groove

    The bicipital groove separates the greater tubercle from the lesser tubercle. [1] It is usually around 8 cm long and 1 cm wide in adults. [1] It lodges the long tendon of the biceps brachii muscle between the tendon of the pectoralis major muscle on the lateral lip and the tendon of the teres major muscle on the medial lip.

  8. Bicep curl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicep_curl

    The research found that the preacher curl targets the long head of the biceps significantly only when the arm was almost fully extended, and the range of motion was short. On the other hand, the incline dumbbell curl and the regular bicep curl activated the biceps throughout the entire range of motion.

  9. Coracobrachialis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coracobrachialis_muscle

    Coracobrachialis muscle. Deep muscles of the chest and front of the arm, with the boundaries of the axilla. Coracobrachialis is shown in blue. The coracobrachialis muscle is a muscle in the upper medial part of the arm. It is located within the anterior compartment of the arm. It originates from the coracoid process of the scapula; it inserts ...
