Understanding Brachial Muscles: Functions, Examples, and Importance

Brachials are the muscles of the upper arm, specifically those that run from the shoulder to the elbow. The term "brachial" comes from the Greek word "brachion," which means "upper arm." These muscles are responsible for flexing and rotating the arm, as well as helping to stabilize the shoulder joint. Some common examples of brachial muscles include the biceps brachii (which helps to bend the elbow) and the triceps brachii (which helps to straighten the elbow).
