The brachioradialis is a muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow. [1] [2] It is also capable of both pronation and supination, depending on the position of the forearm. [2] It is attached to the distal styloid process of the radius by way of the brachioradialis tendon, and to the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus.
This is a list of roots, suffixes, and prefixes used in medical terminology, their meanings, and their etymologies.Most of them are combining forms in Neo-Latin and hence international scientific vocabulary.

The forearm is the region of the upper limb between the elbow and the wrist. [1] The term forearm is used in anatomy to distinguish it from the arm, a word which is used to describe the entire appendage of the upper limb, but which in anatomy, technically, means only the region of the upper arm, whereas the lower "arm" is called the forearm.
The medial muscular branches supply the medial head of the triceps brachii.. That to the medial head is a long, slender filament, which lies close to the ulnar nerve as far as the lower third of the arm, and is therefore frequently spoken of as the ulnar collateral nerve.
The flexor carpi radialis is one of four muscles in the superficial layer of the anterior compartment of the forearm.. This muscle originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus as part of the common flexor tendon.
The brachialis (brachialis anticus) is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow.It lies beneath the biceps brachii, and makes up part of the floor of the region known as the cubital fossa (elbow pit).
The radial nerve passes underneath the brachioradialis muscle where it divides into deep and superficial branches. It is not always considered part of the cubital fossa but is in the vicinity. [1] The biceps brachii tendon; The brachial artery.
