Study Notes

Biceps Brachii Long Head

  • Flexes and supinates the elbow; weak flexor when long head is engaged
  • Originates from the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
  • Inserts at the radial tuberosity

Biceps Brachii Short Head

  • Flexes and supinates the elbow; weak flexor when long head is engaged
  • Originates from the coracoid process of the scapula
  • Inserts at the radial tuberosity

Brachialis

  • Primary action is flexion at the forearm
  • Originates from the anterior shaft of the humerus
  • Inserts at the ulnar tuberosity

Brachioradialis

  • Flexes at the forearm; also acts as a supinator and assists in returning to a neutral "handshake" position
  • Originates from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus
  • Inserts at the styloid process of the radius

Triceps Brachii Lateral Head

  • Responsible for extension at the elbow
  • Originates from the superior lateral shaft of the humerus
  • Inserts at the olecranon of the ulna

Triceps Brachii Long Head

  • Contributes to elbow extension
  • Originates from the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
  • Inserts at the olecranon of the ulna

Triceps Brachii Medial Head

  • Engages in elbow extension; also has a role in shoulder adduction
  • Originates from the posterior shaft of the humerus, inferior to the radial groove
  • Inserts at the olecranon of the ulna

Anconeous

  • Functions to extend the elbow
  • Originates from the posterior, inferior surface of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus
  • Inserts at the lateral margin of the olecranon on the ulna

Supinator

  • Performs supination of the forearm
  • Originates from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, annular ligament, and ridge near the radial notch of the ulna
  • Inserts at the anterolateral surface of the radius, distal to the radial tuberosity
