Q

Biceps brachii
Origin, insertion etc
Tell me something important about the tendon of the bicep brachii

A

Proximal attachment: Short head: apex of coracoid process of scapula Long head: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula

Action: Supinates flexed forearm; flexes forearm at elbow

The tendon of biceps brachii (esp. long head) has the highest rate of spontaneous rupture of any tendon in the body!

> 40 years (= degeneration)

+ rotator cuff injuries
