(BBC)
Describe biceps brachii
O: short head - coracoid process of scapula
long head - supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
A: tuberosity of radius + bicipital aponeurosis
I: musculocutaneous nerve (C5,6)
Fn: flexion in all positions + supinates

Short head: coracoid process of scapula
long head: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
What is the attachment of biceps brachii?
tuberosity of radius + bicipital aponeurosis
What is the innervation of biceps brachii?
musculocutaneous nerve (C5,6)
What is the function of biceps brachii?
Flexion in all positions and supination of arm
