Which human muscles are worked by using Dumbbells?
Theses are the muscles who works with a dumbbells: Primary Movers: Anterior Deltoid Secondary Movers Lateral Deltoid Supraspinatus Triceps Brachii (the triceps is actually only a two headed muscle) Middle Trapezius Pectoralis Major Stabilizers: Long head of the triceps Short head of biceps brachii (funnily enough the biceps is a three headed muscle) Upper trapezius
What is the primary extensor of the elbow?
The triceps brachii muscle is the primary extensor of the elbow, also known as the olecranon. To clarify, it is the elbow that can also be known as the olecranon. The olecranon is the posterior process of the ulna. The triceps brachii muscle has three heads (hence TRI-, meaning three) - the long head which originates from the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, and the short and lateral heads which originate from the posterior surface of the humerus. The three meet and join to the olecranon of the ulna. When this muscle contracts, it pulls the olecranon in the direction of the shoulder - thus extending the forearm at the elbow joint. The triceps brachii muscle is innervated by the radial nerve, originating from spinal levels C6 and C8, but primarily C7.
What is the function of the biceps?
The biceps brachii is the muscle on the front of your upper arm. Its purpose is to pull bend your arm at the elbow (flexion).It is one of an antagonistic pair of muscles. The other muscle is the triceps brachii on the back of the upper arm. It straightens (extends) your arm at the elbow.The biceps are used to flex the lower arm up to the upper arm. They also allow the wrists to suppinate.It helps in flexioning the forearm against the arm
Does the biceps brachii muscle originate or insert on the humerus?
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.
What muscle attaches to the vertebral border of the scapula?
Muscles that attach to the scapula are:The Pectoralis minor.The coracobrachialis.The short head of biceps brachii.

Which muscles attach to the coracoid process?
Tendons: Pectoralis minor; Short head of Biceps Brachii; Caracobrachialis Ligaments: Coracoclavicular ligaments (conoid, trapezoid ligaments); Coracoacromial ligament; Coracohumeral ligament
What muscles involved in arm flexion?
arm flextion : Muscle Origin Insertion Action Coracobracialis Corocoid process of scapula Middle of medial shaft of humerus Flexes and adducts the humerus Biceps Brachii Short head- Coracoid process of scapula Long head- Supraglenoid tubercle of scapula Tuberosity of the radius and aponeurosis of biceps brachii Flexes elbow, supinates forearm, flexes shoulder joint Triceps Brachii Long head- Infraglenoid tubercle of scapula Lateral head- Posterior surface of proximal half of humerus Medial head- Posterior surface of distal half of humerus All heads- olecranon process of ulna Long head- Extends and adducts the shoulder All heads- Extend the forearm (elbow) Subclavius First rib and cartilage Inferior, lateral aspect of clavicle Elevates first rib, stabilizes sternoclavicular joint, draws clavicle down

What 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.

How does the skeletal and muscular systems work together to raise and lower the forearm?
The biceps and triceps muscles work synergistically; the biceps muscles contracting concentrically and the triceps muscles contracting eccentrically when the forearm lifts, and it's the exact reverse when the forearm lowers.
