	Biceps Brachii (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The triarticulate biceps brachii muscles, particularly the short head [2 ] enters passive insufficiency through the completion of elbow extension when the shoulders are more extended or through the completion of shoulder extension when the elbows are more extended.
		The biceps brachii is a stronger elbow flexor when the radioulnar joint (forearm) is supinated.
		The biceps brachii is a stronger forearm supinator when the elbow is flexed.

	Biceps brachii muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In human anatomy, the biceps brachii is a muscle on the upper arm that acts to flex the elbow.
		It is given the name biceps because it has two heads, and brachii comes from the Latin word for arm.
		The biceps also connects with the fascia of the medial side of the arm, at the bicipital aponeurosis.

	Biceps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biceps is a Latin term that means two heads.
		The biceps brachii is the prominent muscle on the upper arm, and are associated with strength.
		Biceps can also refer to the biceps femoris, one of the hamstring muscles of the underside of the thigh.

		It differs in thickness at different parts, being thin over the Biceps brachii, but thicker where it covers the Triceps brachii, and over the epicondyles of the humerus: it is strengthened by fibrous aponeuroses, derived from the Pectoralis major and Latissimus dorsi medially, and from the Deltoideus laterally.
		—A third head (10 per cent.) to the Biceps brachii is occasionally found, arising at the upper and medial part of the Brachialis, with the fibers of which it is continuous, and inserted into the lacertus fibrosus and medial side of the tendon of the muscle.
		The Biceps brachii is a flexor of the elbow and, to a less extent, of the shoulder; it is also a powerful supinator, and serves to render tense the deep fascia of the forearm by means of the lacertus fibrosus given off from its tendon.

		It is given the name biceps because it has two heads, and brachii comes from the (Any dialect of the language of ancient Rome) Latin word for arm.
		Distally, biceps attaches to the (Pneumatic tire that has radial-ply casing) radial tuberosity, and because this bone can rotate, the biceps also supinates the forearm.
		The biceps also connects with the fascia of the medial side of the arm, at the bicipital (Any of the deeper and thicker fascia that attach muscles to bones; resemble flattened tendons) aponeurosis.

		229(2):278-80, 1991 Feb. The relationship between the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle and the glenoidal labrum was investigated in a large number of * dissected human shoulder joints.
		In about 70% of the specimens examined, the labrum was deficient at the posterosuperior margin of the glenoid because the tendon of the biceps coursed over this margin to blend with the labrum.
		In the majority of Á cases, the tendon of the biceps blended with the glenoidal labrum, and only a small part of the tendon attached to the supraglenoid tubercle.

	The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Proximal Biceps Tendon Rupture
		The long head of the biceps is at risk of injury and degenerative changes because of its mechanical function and proximity to the rotator cuff, bicipital groove, and acromion (8).
		Biceps strength may be tested more specifically by having the patient adduct the affected arm, hold the elbow at 90° flexion with the forearm supinated, and then flex the elbow against resistance.
		Ruptures of the biceps tendon are most common in middle-aged patients, but this injury should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of upper-extremity complaints in young competitive or recreational athletes.

		Originating in the shoulder area, the heads of the biceps merge partway down the arm to form a rounded mass of tissue linked by a tendon to the radius, the smaller of the two forearm bones.
		When the biceps contracts, the tendon is pulled toward the heads, thus bending the arm at the elbow.
		The size and solidity of the contracted biceps are a traditional measure of physical strength.

	APStracts 2:0311N, 1995. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Comparison of data between control subjects and subjects who had undergone biceps SSR up-training in previous studies, suggests that the small increase seen among the present control subjects was probably not the result of a direct training effect.
		These data suggest that: 1) the biceps brachii SSR can be reduced in human subjects; 2) concurrent changes are often observed in the synergist brachioradialis; and 3) the reduced biceps SSR magnitude is not linked to a compensatory increase in antagonist muscle activity.
		Reductions in the magnitude of longer latency biceps brachii activity seen in parallel with the decreased SSR may imply that some degree of supraspinal processing is required to achieve this task.

		Furthermore continuing cephalad the insertion of the biceps brachii tendon was difficult to identify due to the overlying synovial sheath, once resected it became apparent that the tendon was attached to the humerus as it ascended into the intertubercular groove as shown in the photograph, possibly explaining the muscle wasting observed.
