Biceps Brachii is a two-headed muscle located in the upper arm that primarily facilitates flexion of the elbow and supination of the forearm. It is essential for lifting and carrying, playing a crucial role in movements involving pulling or curling motions. Its combined actions help in stabilizing the shoulder joint during various activities.
The name "biceps brachii" originates from Latin, where "biceps" means "two-headed," reflecting its two points of origin, and "brachii" refers to the arm.
If the biceps brachii were absent or damaged, the ability to flex the elbow and rotate the forearm would be significantly impaired, reducing overall arm strength and limiting the capacity to perform everyday tasks such as lifting objects or performing various manual activities.
