What is the definition of brachioradialis?
The brachioradialis is a muscle found in the forearm that helps flex the forearm at the elbow. It is capable of pronation and supination.
What is the action of the flexor carpi radialis muscles?
Function: flexion and radial deviation of the wrist, along with other muscles which flex the wrist and radially deviate the wrist, weak pronation of the forearm along with other muscles which pronate the forearm and weak flexion of the elbow along with other muscles which flex the elbow
What muscles sole function is to flex the elbow?
brechioradialis
Which muscles flex the arm at the elbow?
The bicep flexes the arm at the elbow.
What is the term for the muscle that bends and flexes the elbow joint?
Flexion (same as bending) at the elbow joint (between the humerus and the radius and ulna) is mainly achieved by the Brachialis Muscle. This is not the answer most would expect as everyone knows the Biceps Brachii (Biceps of the arm) are what flexes this joint. In fact the biceps does both supination and flexion of the elbow because its insertion is on the radius. Only when the forearm is supinated, the biceps is able to assist the deeper and more powerful brachialis muscle with the flexion of the elbow.
What do the triceps and biceps muscles do?
The triceps muscles extend (straighten) the arm, while the biceps muscles flex (bend) it at the elbow joint.
What allows a chicken wing to move at the elbow?

Muscle that allows you to flex the elbow?
The Biceps flex the elbow The Triceps extend the elbow
Is the bicep brachii a cardiac muscle?
No. The Biceps Brachii and another muscle called the brachialis bend the elbow. The Biceps Brachii also helps rotate the wrist in the direction called supination and helps to forward flex the shoulder.
Why is it easier to flex the forearm when your forearm is supinated rather than pronated?
it is easier to flex the elbow when your forearm is supinated because it is putting less tension on the muscles and ligaments as supposed to in pronated.
What does a bicep do?
flex the elbow
What Muscle extends in any movement?
None. Muscles only contracts. In order to extend, the muscle on the opposite movement has to contract. For example, the biceps help flex the elbow, but it does not extend the elbow; the triceps does that.
