It flexes the arm at the elbow.
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.
Extension of the forearm at the elbow joint is achieved almost entirely by the triceps brachii but extension of the arm, which actually takes place at the shoulder joint, is achieved by muscles on the back, such as the latissimus dorsi.
Two joint muscles in the upper limb is the wrist and the elbow. Two joint muscles in the lower limb is the ankle and the knee.
The main muscle that flexes the forearm is the biceps brachii.
Latissimus dorsi
Probably the Biceps Brachii (commonly called Biceps).
The antagonist muscles of the elbow joint are the biceps brachii and brachialis, which oppose the action of the triceps brachii. In the radioulnar joint, the supinator and biceps brachii act as antagonists to the pronator teres and pronator quadratus muscles.
The biceps brachii is a muscle.
Triceps Brachii extends the forearm at the elbow joint.

Triceps brachiiElbow flexion is due to the contraction of the biceps brachii, the prime mover. The triceps brachii extends as the biceps brachii contracts and therefore is the antagonist muscle.
The radial tuberosity is also known as the bicipital tuberosity and is a bony marking which is the main insertion of the biceps brachii muscle. The radial tuberosity is also known as the bicipital tuberosity and is a bony marking which is the main insertion of the biceps brachii muscle.
The scientific name for biceps is Biceps Brachii.
prime mover (agonist)Not sure what you're asking here, but the biceps brachii is the prime mover facilitating flexion at the elbow joint.
