In this article, I will explain “biceps brachialis” in detail.
The biceps brachial muscle is frequently used in daily life and sports activities, and in particular plays an important role in elbow flexion and arm rotation. Furthermore, we will delve into shoulder blades, which are closely related to biceps brachialis, and introduce their characteristics, roles, and trivia. Please use this article to deepen your understanding of the body.

What are biceps brachialis
The biceps brachial muscle is a muscle located on the front of the arm, and it plays a leading role in the “biceps,” which stands out when strength is applied. This muscle, which stretches from shoulder to elbow, is essential for elbow bending and arm rotation (movement of turning outward). It also plays a major role in lifting and attracting objects.
How to read biceps brachialis
Biceps brachialis is read as “well done.” This name comes from the fact that the muscle is divided into two heads and is located in the upper arm.
Characteristics of biceps brachialis
The biceps brachial muscle consists of two parts: the long head and the short head. The long head starts at the top of the humerus bone and attaches to the articular lip of the shoulder, and the brachycephaly departs from the ornithomatous process of the shoulder blade. The two heads join near the elbow and form a single tendon and are connected to the radius of the forearm.
Location and position of biceps brachialis
If you refer to the human anatomy chart, you can see that the biceps brachial muscle extends from the upper front of the arm to the elbow. The long head and short head meet and form a single tendon to connect to the forearm.
How to memorize biceps
By memorizing “biceps with two heads,” you can easily memorize the function of your biceps. The phrase “the long head starts from above, the short head starts from the shoulder blades” also helps you remember where each head starts.
English and Latin for biceps brachialis
Biceps brachii is called “Biceps Brachii” in English and “Biceps Brachii” in Latin. The name indicates that the muscle has two heads and is located in the arm.
Biceps trivia
Here's some trivia.
The long head and short head of the biceps have different roles. Brachycephaly is frequently used in everyday life. On the other hand, long heads are often used during sports or heavy lifting, so they are more likely to be injured.
Tissue associated with biceps brachialis: characteristics of the scapula
The scapula is a flat bone located at the top of the back, and is the starting or stopping point for many muscles, including the biceps brachial muscle. This bone mainly supports shoulder joint movement and allows extensive arm movement. The scapula, in particular, has a thoracic process where the brachycephalus of the biceps brachial muscle starts, and this area directly affects the function of the biceps brachial muscle.
Tissue associated with biceps brachialis: location and position of shoulder blades
The shoulder blades start directly behind the chest and span the upper spine (from bone 2 to 7). This bone, which spreads thinly toward the center of the back, is located one on each of the left and right shoulders, and is shaped to tilt toward the center of the back. Thanks to this shape and position, the shoulder blades provide ease of movement and stability to the muscles that support the arms, especially those like the biceps brachii.
Tissues associated with biceps brachiae: shoulder blade trivia
1. Shoulder blade stability affects exercise performance: The position and stability of shoulder blades are directly linked to arm exercise performance. Proper shoulder blade movement allows efficient use of many muscles, starting with the biceps brachial muscle, and reduces the risk of injury.
2. What you can tell from shoulder blades: You can determine a person's overall posture and health from the position and movement of the shoulder blades. For example, excessive shoulder blade overhang may indicate poor posture or tension in surrounding muscles, including biceps brachialis.
3. The shoulder blades maintain a balance of mobility and stability: The shoulder blades are surrounded by strong muscle groups, and the correct positioning of the shoulder blades is important for these muscles to function properly. Both shoulder blade mobility and stability are essential for proper function of muscles like biceps brachialis.
The shoulder blades not only support biceps function, but also play an important role for shoulder health and overall body balance. Thus, there is a close relationship between shoulder blades and biceps brachialis, and their health affects each other. By paying attention to the position and movement of the shoulder blades, you can expect effective function of the biceps brachial muscles and an improvement in overall exercise performance.

summary
This time, I explained the location and position of “biceps brachialis”, how to memorize it, and the English/Latin notation.
How was it?
I would be happy if reading this article deepened my understanding of anatomy.
Learning is a long, never-ending journey, but I sincerely wish you all the best. Let's continue to study together and work hard for the national exam!
Please look forward to the next blog.
