Paper 1
A muscle at the front of the upper arm that bends the elbow.
Revise: Location of major muscle groupsThe biceps is at the front of the upper arm. It bends the elbow, as during the lifting phase of a biceps curl. The triceps is at the back of the upper arm.
Identify muscles from both front and back views: biceps and quadriceps are at the front; triceps and hamstrings are at the back.
Give a precise location: ‘front of the upper arm’ identifies the biceps more clearly than ‘in the arm’.
