It inserts onto the humerus. It originates from the coracoid process of the scapula.
There are 2 parts - Long head and short head. The long head is connected to the coracoid process by a tendon that comes up between the tubercules of the humerous. The short head is connected directly to the humerus.

The biceps brachii is insert on a radius. true or false?
"yes". The Biceps Brachii inserts on the radial tuberosity.
What bicep muscles have two origins?
Biceps brachii - in the arm * short head - coracoid process of the scapula (shoulder blade) * long head - supraglenoid tubercle of the humerus Biceps femoris - in the leg (one of the hamstrings) * tuberosity of the ischium (part of the pelvis) * linea aspera of the femur
Where does subscapularis insert?
the lesser tubercle of the humerus
What does the latissimus dorsi insert to?
on the intertubercular groove of the humerus just lateral to pectoralis major
Why can you move your arm muscles?
because that's how the body is built If your speaking about your biceps, it's because they don't start and end on your arm. Bi (2) Ceps Brachii has 2 heads. One of which originates on the coracoid process of the scapula. Both heads cross the elbow and insert on the radius. Thus because muscle pulls bones closer together, creating flexion, or bending the elbow. Same goes for triceps. Three heads, the long head originating on the scapula the other two on the posterior humerus (back of the arm). They insert on the elbow. This allows for extension of the arm and straightening the arm after bending the elbow. http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/TricepsBrachii.HTML
What muscle originates on the distal anterior humerus and inserts onto the coronoid process of the ulna to cause arm reflexion?
The brachialis muscle originates on the distal anterior humerus and insert at the coronoid process. The function of the brachialis is flexion at the elbow.
What tendon inserts most commonly into the triceps surae?
The tendon of triceps brachii insert on top of olecranon process of ulna. While that of triceps surae forms the archille's tendon and insert in calcaneus
Where do the scalenes originate?
They originate from the transverse processes from the cervical vertebrae of C2 to C7 and insert onto the first and second ribs. Thus they are called the lateral vertebral muscles.
Where does the piriformis muscle originate an insert?
The piriformis originates at the anterior sacrum and inserts at the greater trochanter of the femur.

Is the knee cap deep to the femur?
The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.
the humerus connects the.. to the..through the?
The humerus bone is located in the upper arm, between the shoulder joint and the elbow joint. The shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint, is a ball and socket joint. The ball is the humeral head, and the socket is the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The joint is supported by ligaments, and surrounded by the four rotator cuff muscles and their tendons: the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These muscles originate on the scapula and insert on the humeral head.
