[Systematization of the musculo-tendinous architecture of the human biceps (musculus biceps brachii)]

The structure of the brachial biceps is studied based upon the bilateral dissections of six subjects. The object of this work consists of determining the distribution of the group and muscular fibers in relation to the two proximal insertions and the two distal insertions. It is possible to describe the subgroups within each structure. The objective of each of these subgroups is considered within the framework of the coordination between the two muscular formation and the double insertions on the structure of the forearm. It is probable that this muscular formation corresponds to two different movements of the forearm during the locomotory progression. This work can be utilised in the sphere of the comparative biomechanical observation. Also electromyographic and the histochemical characteristics of the muscular group.
