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 bicep muscles have two origins?

Biceps brachii - in the arm * short head - coracoid process of the scapula (shoulder blade) * long head - supraglenoid tubercle of the humerus Biceps femoris - in the leg (one of the hamstrings) * tuberosity of the ischium (part of the pelvis) * linea aspera of the femur

Why can you move your arm muscles?

because that's how the body is built If your speaking about your biceps, it's because they don't start and end on your arm. Bi (2) Ceps Brachii has 2 heads. One of which originates on the coracoid process of the scapula. Both heads cross the elbow and insert on the radius. Thus because muscle pulls bones closer together, creating flexion, or bending the elbow. Same goes for triceps. Three heads, the long head originating on the scapula the other two on the posterior humerus (back of the arm). They insert on the elbow. This allows for extension of the arm and straightening the arm after bending the elbow. http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/TricepsBrachii.HTML

Prime mover knee flexion?

The prime mover for knee flexion is the hamstring muscle group, including the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. These muscles originate from the ischial tuberosity in the pelvis and insert on the tibia and fibula, allowing them to flex the knee joint when contracting. Strengthening these muscles through exercises like hamstring curls can improve knee flexion strength and function.


Where do the scalenes originate?

They originate from the transverse processes from the cervical vertebrae of C2 to C7 and insert onto the first and second ribs. Thus they are called the lateral vertebral muscles.
