What part of the body does the biceps move?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

your biceps are the muscles that move your lower arm and hand up. You usually have two or more muscles for each bone. These muscles work together for instance the biceps and triceps. When your biceps contract, your arm bends up. when your bicep relaxes and your triceps contract, your hand lowers again, you can try it on a table. Lay your arm flat then raise your arm from the hand to your elbow, when you lift and let it down, you will se your muscles bulge.

Notice though that the muscles does not contract the other way or stretch. it relaxes.

Answer 3

Biceps help you do important things like lifting heavy objects.
