| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Anterior Brachial Muscles | Coracobrachialis, Brachialis, Biceps Brachii |
| Coracobrachialis (origin) | coracoid process |
| Coracobrachialis (insertion) | medial mid brachium |
| Coracobrachialis (function) | flexion and adduction of shoulder |
| Coracobrachialis (structure/relationship) | small muscle |
| Brachialis (origin) | distal 1/2 of humerus |
| Brachialis (insertion) | coranoid process of ulna |
| Brachialis (function) | flexion of elbow |
| Brachialis (structure/relationship) | largest of brachial mm |
| Biceps Brachii (origin) | Long: supraglenoid tubercle, Short: coracoid process |
| Biceps Brachii (insertion) | radial tuberosity |
