In: Anatomy and Physiology
Which of the following is NOT an action of brachioradialis?
B. Elbow extension
C. Supination
D. Pronation
The brachioradialis muscle in our human body specifically originates on our bodies lateral supracondylar ridge of our bodies humerus bone . This specific rough margin of our body is located specifically on the lower end of our humerus bone . From that point the brachioradialis muscle specifically travels the length of our human forearm. It specifically inserts into our bodies distal radius, at the radial styloid process which is a bony projection
This brachioradialis muscle that is located in our human forearm helps in the flexion processs of the elbow joint .so option a is wrong
The brachioradialis muscle in our body will also assists with pronation of our forearm so option d is wrong
The brachioradialis muscle in our body also assist with supination of the forearm.so option c is wrong
Option b is the answer as the brachioradialis muscle will not assist in the elbow extention . The primary extention muscle of our body is the triceps brachi muscle . So it is wrong answer
