movements and function are as follows-

Brachialis:

Origins
● Distal half of the anterior side of the humerus and intermuscular
septa
Insertions
● Coronoid process and ulnar tuberosity
Innervation
● Musculocutaneous and radial nerves
Function
● Flexion of the forearm at the elbow joint

Biceps brachii
Origins
● Long head - supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
● Short head - apex of the coracoid process of the scapula

Insertions
● Radial tuberosity of the radius
Innervation
● Musculocutaneous nerve
Function
● Flexion of the forearm at the elbow joint, supinator of the
forearm, accessory flexor of the arm at the glenohumeral joint

Triceps brachii
Origins
● Long head - infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
● Medial head - posterior surface of the humerus
● Lateral head - posterior surface of the humerus
Insertions
● Olecranon
Innervation
● Radial nerve
Function
