The intertubercular bicipital groove is a sulcus formed by the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus. The tendon of the long head of the biceps muscle passes through this groove and is held in place by a transverse ligament.
The intertubercular sulcus, also known as the bicipital groove, is located on the anterior aspect of the humerus bone. It runs between the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus and serves as a site of attachment for the long head of the biceps muscle.
Long head, with its synovial sheath
The biceps brachii muscles, commonly called the "biceps muscle," its insertion on the radial tuberosity. The origin is actually in two places, one for each head of the biceps - the short head originates from the coracoid process of the scapula and the long head originates from the supraglenoid tubercle.

Top of the head .
Antagonists of the biceps are triceps (the three head muscle). Biceps flex and triceps extend.
biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus
"Biceps" comes from the Latin word "biceps", meaning "having two parts" or, literally, "two-headed." The Latin "biceps" comes from bis, meaning "double" and ceps meaning "head."http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=biceps
That would be your biceps muscle. The "two heads" in question are the muscle's two points of origin: on the coracoid process of the shoulder blade, and the glenoid cavity of the shoulder joint. The word "biceps" comes from the prefix bi-, meaning "two", and the root cap, "head" (the full Latin word for "head" is caput, capitis, n.). To be precise, this biceps is known as biceps brachii, the "biceps of the arm"; there's a second biceps in the thigh known as the biceps femoris.
