It is the groove where the long head of biceps tendon runs between the greater and lesser tubercles below the humeral head before inserting into the superior glenoid rim. The lateral bicipital groove is seen on the lateral aspect of the upper arm, and is formed by the same anatomical structures as the medial groove.
The biceps or biceps brachii (Latin: musculus biceps brachii, "two-headed muscle of the arm") is a large muscle that lies on the front of the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow. Both heads of the muscle arise on the scapula and join to form a single muscle belly which is attached to the upper forearm.
The bicipital groove separates the greater tubercle from the lesser tubercle. [1] It is usually around 8 cm long and 1 cm wide in adults. [1] The groove lodges the long tendon of the biceps brachii muscle, positioned between the tendon of the pectoralis major muscle on the lateral lip and the tendon of the teres major muscle on the medial lip.
An example of an antagonistic pair is the biceps and triceps; to contract, the triceps relaxes while the biceps contracts to lift the arm. "Reverse motions" need antagonistic pairs located in opposite sides of a joint or bone, including abductor-adductor pairs and flexor-extensor pairs.
