The biceps muscle is located in the front area of the upper arm. The biceps muscle helps to stabilize the large bone in the upper arm (the humerus) in the shoulder socket. It also helps to accelerate and decelerate the arm during overhead activities, like tennis or pitching.

The biceps tendons keep the biceps muscle attached to the shoulder at one end and the elbow at the other end.

Tendons are strong cord-like structures that connect each end of the biceps muscle to bones. At one end of the biceps muscle, tendons connect the biceps to the shoulder in two places. At the other end of the muscle, tendons connect the biceps muscle to the smaller bone (radius) in the lower arm.
