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.
