The Brachialis Muscle (brachialis anticus), located deep in the anterior region of the upper arm, is the primary muscle responsible for elbow flexion. It lies beneath the biceps brachii and forms the floor of the cubital fossa. Extending from the humerus to the ulna, this muscle provides over 50% of elbow flexion, acting as a more powerful flexor than the biceps. Anatomy Morphology and Connection Points This muscle originates from the anterior surface of the distal half of the humerus. Its origi

The Biceps Brachii Muscle is a muscle located in the anterior region of the upper arm and is known for its two-headed structure (long and short). It is responsible for elbow flexion and forearm supination. It crosses the shoulder and elbow joints, contributing to both upper extremity movement and stabilization. Anatomy Morphology and Connection Points The Biceps Brachii Muscle is the most well-known two-headed muscle of the upper extremity, acting on both the shoulder and elbow joints. The long
