Muscles Of The Arm Flashcards
PA Biceps
Short head: Coracoid Process
Long Head: Supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
DA Biceps Brachii
Radial tuberosity of the radius and fascia of the forearm via the bicipital aponeurosis
Nerve supply Biceps Brachii
Musculocutaneous nerve
Action of Biceps Brachii
Supinate forearm
Flex forearm
When forearm supinated, short head resists downwards dislocation of humerus

Musculocutaneous
Action of Coracobrachialis
Assists in flexin and addiction of arm
Resists shoulder dislocation
PA Brachialis
Distal half of the anterior surface of humerus
DA brachialis

Action Brachialis
Flexes forearm in all positions
Action of Brachialis
Flexes forearm all positions
PA Triceps Brachii
Long Head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
