The arms are comprised
of the triceps, brachialis, biceps, and forearm muscles (wrist flexors
and extensors). The triceps function to straighten or extend the arm at
the elbow. The brachialis flexes or bends the arm at the elbow with the
hand in pronation (facing in or forward) as when performing a hammer curl
or a reverse curl. The biceps flex or bend the arm at the elbow with the
hand in supination (facing backward) as when performing a barbell or dumbbell
curl. |
