Brachioradialis
Brachioradialis
is a
muscle located in the
forearm, that acts to flex the
elbow.
Attached to the distal
radius
and the lateral epicondyle of the
humerus,
it's body can be made visible in certain types of flexion. If a person half-pronates
their arm, to make a fist like they're holding a handled vessel of beer, then
puts their fist under a table or desk and tries to flex at the elbow, the brachioradialis
will stand out of the forearm, visible under the skin. It is on the dorsal side
of the forearm, so is innervated by the
radial
nerve.
