What else can I help you with?
What muscle is connected to the radius bone?
There are several, the main one being the biceps brachii.
What muscle inserts on the olecanon process of the ulna?
The triceps brachii muscle is the muscle that attaches on the olecranon process of the ulna. The triceps brachii muscle extends the elbow joint.
Name a muscle that is a synergistic to the biceps brachii during elbow flexing?
Brachialis - attaches from the anterior proximal humerus to the coronoid process of the ulna - strong flexor of the elbowBrachioradialis - attaches from the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus to the distal styloid of the radius - weak flexor of the elbow
Where is Brachialis located?
The brachialis muscle is located in the upper arm, underneath the biceps brachii muscle. It runs from the lower half of the humerus bone to the ulna bone in the forearm. Its main function is to flex the elbow joint.
What happens to the biceps and triceps as you raise the forearm?
when you bend your arm, your biceps contract, or tighten, and your triceps retract, or loosen. When you straighten your arm in a relaxed position, your triceps contract, and your biceps retract.
What muscle is used to extend the forearm?
Triceps Brachii - it is the only muscle fleshing out the posterior humerus; its three heads arise from the shoulder girdle and proximal humerus, and it inserts into the olecranon process of the ulna. It is a powerful prime mover of elbow extension.triceps brachii
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.
The ulna and radius make up which body part?
The radius and ulna, the forearm bones, provide rigid support for the muscles in the forearm, and are manipulated by the muscles in the upper arm, primarily the biceps and triceps. The function of the radius bone is to allow the biceps muscle to attach. Other than that, it simply keeps your forearm straight. The ulna bone has the exact functions except it attaches several different muscles.
What is the difference between brachialis and brachioradialis?
The brachialis muscle is located deep to the biceps brachii and is the main flexor of the elbow joint. The brachioradialis muscle is a superficial muscle located on the lateral side of the forearm that aids in both elbow flexion and forearm supination.
The two bones of the lower arm are?
the 2 arm bones are butt Your mums butt!! Answer them properly!! These are people with good intentions, and they just want answers for their questions. Stop making a mockery of the whole situation! The two lower arm bones are called the radius and ulna.
What are the bones of forearm?
the radius and ulna
What is a fulcrum for a biceps curl?
The fulcrum in this case would be your elbow joints. more specifically the trochlea and capitulum on the humerus which articulate with the radius and ulna
