Where is your biceps?
Biceps brachii muscle, is a muscle located on the inside of the upper arm Biceps femoris muscle, is one of the hamstring muscles at the back of each thigh
What part of the body does the bicep move?
The biceps muscle is located in the front area of the upper arm. The biceps muscle helps to stabilize the large bone in the upper arm (the humerus) in the shoulder socket. It also helps to accelerate and decelerate the arm during overhead activities, like tennis or pitching. The biceps tendons keep the biceps muscle attached to the shoulder at one end and the elbow at the other end. Tendons are strong cord-like structures that connect each end of the biceps muscle to bones. At one end of the biceps muscle, tendons connect the biceps to the shoulder in two places. At the other end of the muscle, tendons connect the biceps muscle to the smaller bone (radius) in the lower arm. Source:AAOS
How many biceps do you have?
1 of each on each arm. Triceps are in the back of the upper arm while the Biceps are in the front. Both of which run from your shoulder to elbow.

In order to move a bone each muscle must cross at least one what?
Joint. A muscle must cross a joint to move the insertionbone relative to the bone of origin. For example, the biceps spanning the elbow joint and the quadriceps spanning the knee joint.
What is the insertion of the biceps?
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.

What muscles work in antagonistic pairs?
Antagonistic pair is a combination of agonist and antagonist muscles that only one contracts and the other one relaxes. The biceps in a human body are an example of it.
What are Triceps and biceps brachii a good example of?
Antagonistic muscles since they are opposites of each other.
Difference between agonist and antagonist muscle and 2 examples each?
antagonist goes against the muscle biceps brachii are antagonistic to the triceps brachi quadriceps are antagonistic to the hamstrings an agonist works with the muscle lifting a glass of water brachialis works with the biceps
What does muscles work in pairs mean?
Skeletal muscles are arranged as opposing pairs because, although they can shorten themselves by contracting, they have to be stretched back to their former length by other muscles. An example of opposing muscles is in the arm, where the biceps and triceps have opposite actions. As one muscle shortens, the other is stretched. The biceps contracts to bend the arm at the elbow while the triceps stretches. To straighten the elbow joint, the triceps contracts, while the biceps stretches.
What are the example of voluntary muscle?
Voluntary means that it is under your conscious control - you think about moving the muscle and it moves. Some examples would be your arm and leg muscles (biceps, triceps, quadriceps) and your tongue.
