Arm circles primarily target the deltoid muscles in the shoulders. They also engage the rotator cuff muscles, which stabilize the shoulder joint, and can activate the muscles in the upper back and chest to a lesser extent. This exercise helps improve shoulder mobility and strength.
forearm and upper arm muscles.
When you make a muscle in your arm, you are flexing your biceps brachii, which is located in the front of your upper arm. This muscle contracts to bend your elbow and bring your forearm closer to your shoulder. Additionally, the triceps muscle, located at the back of your upper arm, relaxes to allow this movement. Together, these muscles work to enable various arm movements.
Move your arm in circles
To improve arm strength and flexibility, aim to do 15-20 arm circles in each direction daily.
There is not a single muscle that rotates the upper arm. The name of the muscle that contributes in rotation of the upper arm is deltoid muscle.
While one muscle contracts, the other muscle in the pair returns to its original length. The main muscle that bends your upper arm is called the Biceps brachii. The action is called flexion at the elbow. This muscle is on the "front" of the arm. The muscle that acts against this one is called the Triceps brachii. Its' action is extension at the elbow. This muscle is on the "back" of the arm. See the link below:
The brachialis is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow joint.
Your arm uses its bicep and tricep muscle to move. Muscles can only contract so they have to work in pairs. Ex. Bicep and tricep One muscle contract, the other relaxes
What are the tendon in your arm?
A muscle doesn't rotate the shoulder. The ligaments that connect your shoulder blade to your arm, to your rib cage all work in a ball and socket type of way allowing you to rotate your arm 360o.

The posterior deltoid is one extensor of the upper arm.
