-in ‘human anatomy’, the biceps is a 2-headed muscle that lies on the ‘upper arm’ between the ‘shoulder’ + the ‘elbow’–
.
(both heads arise on the ‘scapula’ and join to form a ‘single muscle belly’ which is attached to the ‘upper forearm’)
(while the ‘biceps’ crosses both the ‘shoulder joints’ + ‘elbow joints’, its main function is at the elbow where it ‘flexes’ + ‘supinates’ the ‘forearm’)
(both these movements are used when opening a bottle with a ‘corkscrew’)
(first, biceps unscrews the cork (“supination”), then it pulls the cork out (“flexion”))
(so ‘winos’ need strong biceps)
