	Brachialis muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The brachialis (brachialis anticus) is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow joint.
		The brachialis muscle is innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve, which runs on its superficial surface, between it and the biceps brachii.
		The brachialis is the strongest flexor of the elbow.

	Biceps brachii muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These are the coracobrachialis muscle, which like the biceps attaches to the coracoid process of the scapula, and the brachialis muscle which connects to the ulna and the humerus.
		It has also been proven through several tests into muscle group stimulation, that supination of the forearm with an isometric grip allows for close and normal-grip bench press exercises to have a much more profound effect on the biceps brachii and the clavicular portion of the pectorialis major.
		Originally, supination of the forearm was attributed as a function of the brachioradialis muscle.

		It is a thin, broad sheet of muscle undenreath the Clavotrapezius and deflecting it.
		Muscle contraction is used to move parts of the body, as well as to move substances within the body.
		The differences in characteristics of the smooth muscles and the striated muscles include: the fibers of the smooth muscles are not arranged regularly as the ones of striated muscles, smooth muscles are use to sustain longer contraction or even near permanent whereas the striated muscles are often used for short, burst activities.

	Building Those Big Guns
		The muscles used in flexion of the arm are: 1) the biceps brachii; 2) the brachioradialis; 3) the brachialis; and 4) the pronator teres.
		This muscle is not only responsible for flexion of the arm, but it also prontates the forearm from a supinated position to a more neutral position and also supinates the forearm from a pronated position to the neutral position.
		The brachialis is used any time the arm flexes, however when the forearm is in the pronated (palm down) position, the biceps are less effective and the brachialis has to do much more of the work.

		Mechanically, this is the distance from the muscle's line of action to the joint's center of rotation.

		In this case, the perpendicular distance between the line of force application and the elbow ICR is shown by the dotted line in A and is equivalent to 5 cm x sin(20°) = 1.7 cm.

		Muscles will hypertrophy as long as the load they have to work against is increased.
		Because the muscle is exercised beyond its range of control, these latter techniques increase the chance of injury and are therefore not recommended.
		For example, the specific action of the biceps muscle of the arm, which is actually a compound muscle containing an inner and outer group, is to bend the forearm at the elbow.

		Tensions generated in motor units of a given muscle are dictated by the size of the motor unit (the size of the individual fibers in the motor unit and the number of fibers in the motor unit).
		Muscles that are typically postural (e.g., soleus muscles, some of the muscles along the vertebrae of the back) must be almost continually contracting to maintain our vertical positions when we are awake (i.e, walking or sitting).
		What a muscle has the potential to do is not always realized, perhaps as the result of other muscles acting to counteract that action, or as a result of the nervous system selectively controlling parts of the muscle activation.

		Muscle cells are those that generate tension (force) and when they activate (a.k.a., contract) they shorten and pull whatever is attached to their opposite ends closer together.
		This simultaneous shortening of muscle fibers (cells) due to the shortening of myofibril organelles is the cause of muscle shortening.
		Muscles of the shoulders and arms are not constantly active but are used intermittently, usually for short periods of time, to produce large amounts of tension such as in lifting and throwing.

		During elbow flexion the brachialis muscle is used in combination with other elbow flexors, regardless of whether the wrist is pronated or supinated.
		The brachialis originates on the lower half and front portion of the humerus, crossing the elbow joint and inserting on the coronoid process of the ulna.
		The muscle's attachment just below the elbow on the ulna is significant because its pull on the ulna, which does not rotate, allows the effectiveness of the brachialis to be undiminished regardless of hand position.

		We may then choose to eliminate that muscle force from the equilibrium equations to reduce the number of unknowns relative to the number of equations.
		They based their idea of optimization based on the idea that muscle fatigue is related to the physiologic stress in the muscle, defined as the force divided by the physiologic cross-sectional area of the muscle.
		However, it is important to note that the muscle stress as noted in these formulations is gross muscle stress, ie it is an average stress over the whole muscle.

	How To Get Big Biceps, (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The biceps, or more specifically the biceps brachii, shares that work with two other main muscles: the brachialis, which runs beneath the biceps, and the brachioradialis, which makes up the meaty part of the top of your forearm at the elbow joint.
		To achieve full development, a common prescription in the gym is to incorporate movements that focus on each muscle, using a supinated (palms up) grip, a pronated (palms down) grip and a hammer (palms facing each other) grip.
		Follow our directions, and be sure to avoid the most common mistake Marshall sees people make when they do curls: "performing the movement with limited elbow flexion while throwing the weight up and arching the back." In other words, they use their hips to power the bar up and push through repetitions with reckless speed.

		Horner syndrome occur in neonates with Klumpke palsy when the anterior root, spinal nerve, and proximal region of the ventral ramus are affected.

		Horner syndrome does not occurs with Kumpke palsy, which occur as the result of an injury beyond the ventral ramus because the sympathetic fibers leave the brachial plexus at this level (Figure 221.1).

		The biceps brachii is a muscle on the upper arm that acts to flex the elbow.
		Some people find that working the muscle directly (specific bicep exercises) gives them the best gains while others find that working it indirectly (working the back muscles which uses the biceps in the exercise as well) they get the best gains.
		After doing the same exercises for weeks at a time, your muscles will get used to stimulus and will stop growing; therefore, it is best to change things up every couple of weeks to keep things fresh and new.
