  2. Brachioradialis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis

    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.

  3. Bicep curl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicep_curl

    The brachioradialis is at its most effective when the palms are facing inward, and the brachialis is unaffected by forearm rotation. Therefore, the degree of forearm rotation affects the degree of muscle recruitment between the three muscles.

  4. Brachioradialis reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis_reflex

    The brachioradialis reflex (also known as supinator reflex) is observed during a neurological exam by striking the brachioradialis tendon (at its insertion at the base of the wrist into the radial styloid process (radial side of wrist around 4 inches proximal to base of thumb)) directly with a reflex hammer when the patient's arm is relaxing ...

  5. Anatomical terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terminology

    The brachioradialis, in the forearm, and brachialis, located deep to the biceps in the upper arm, are both synergists that aid in this motion. Muscle action that moves the axial skeleton work over a joint with an origin and insertion of the muscle on respective side. The insertion is on the bone deemed to move towards the origin during muscle ...

    This article uses the former definition; see upper limb for the wider definition. [8] In primates, the arm is adapted for precise positioning of the hand and thus assist in the hand's manipulative tasks.

    This is a list of mnemonics used in medicine and medical science, categorized and alphabetized. A mnemonic is any technique that assists the human memory with information retention or retrieval by making abstract or impersonal information more accessible and meaningful, and therefore easier to remember; many of them are acronyms or initialisms which reduce a lengthy set of terms to a single ...

    Primitive reflexes are reflex actions originating in the central nervous system that are exhibited by normal infants, but not neurologically intact adults, in response to particular stimuli.
