Question

Your biceps muscle is attached to the top of your humerus and to the end of your radius, near your elbow. What would happen if the biceps were attached to the top and bottom of your humerus instead?

A. You would be able to pull your forearm toward your shoulder with more force.
B. You would not be able to pull your forearm up toward your shoulder.
C. Your humerus would lengthen and shorten each time your biceps contracted.
D. Your triceps muscle would make your arm bend backward when it contracted.

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the picture, the biceps muscle is attached to the radius and the contraction of the biceps it pulls the forearm up.

The function of the biceps' tendon at the elbow is essential to the function of the forearm in lifting, without it, we would not be able to do it.

Answer 2

The correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. If the biceps were attached to the top and bottom of your humerus, then you would not be able to pull your forearm up toward your shoulder. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
