Biceps Brachii short head OIA
O: caracoid process
I: bicipital aponeruosis & fascia of the medial forearm
A: flexes/supinates forearm at elbow
Brachialis OIA
O: body of humerus
I: ulnar tuberosity
A: flexes the forearm at the elbow
Triceps Brachii long head OIA
O: infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
I: posterior olecranon process of the ulna
A: extends forearm at elbow, extends arm at shoulder
Triceps Brachii lateral head OIA
O: body of the humerus, superior to the radial groove
I: posterior olecranon process
A: extends the forearm at the elbow
Triceps brachii medial head OIA
O: body of the humerus, inferior to the radial groove
I: posterior olecranon process
A: extends the forearm at the elbow
flexors and pronators are found in the
anterior forearm
extensors and supinators are found in the
posterior forearm
Supination definition
palm up
Pronation definition
palm down
Supination muscles
- supinator
- biceps brachii
Pronation muscles
- pronator teres
- pronator quadratus
Pronator teres OIA
