changed "30 inch bicep" to "30 inch upper arm" as the original statement neglects the more significant extent the triceps contributes to this measurement (and to a lesser extent brachioradialis, brachialis and corachobrachialis)
The iamges Image:Biceps.jpg is under a non-commercial licence and is therefore not suitable for wikipedia. Could someone with a cameria please make a replacement? Thanks.--nixie 05:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that there are some details missing, such as: Latin names of muscles "biceps brachii caput brevis" and "biceps brachii caput longum", the short and the long biceps muscles. Even if it most common to refer biceps as biceps brachii, this should be explained in introduction or terminalogy. GA Fantastic (talk) 17:16, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Why on earth is this article not called "Biceps brachii"? It is currently a redirect, but surely the word muscle is not needed in the article title. I have not been so bold as to move the article myself; normally I am bold, but there are a lot of articles that link here, and perhaps there is some policy on anatomical articles that I am not aware of. Could someone enlighten me or perhaps simply move this to Biceps brachii? Leevclarke (talk) 22:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
ok, but can someone say some info about the actual functions of the muscules in average and what they do anfd how they work exactly. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.86.95 (talk) 21:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
I believe that this is a grouping of muscles!!!! so it needs to be called "biceps brachii muscles!" 49ersfanforlife (talk) 17:04, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
I suggest this article be renamed "Biceps brachii muscle", this is the correct anatomical name as used on the other articles about muscles (for example Triceps brachii muscle). benrusholme (talk) 13:33, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
The correct term for the 'Biceps' is in fact Bicep. Bicep refers to the heads of the Bicep, being 2, not in actual fact of hus having 2 bicep. Name change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.30.127.115 (talk) 01:13, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Biceps brachii muscle → Biceps – If it's the common name we're after, then it has to be 'biceps'. If it's the precise anatomical term, then 'Biceps brachii' is the term to use. The word 'muscle' in the title is utterly redundant. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 06:50, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
B. n. A muscle with two heads or tendinous attachments; spec. that on the front of the upper arm, which bends the fore arm; also the corresponding muscle of the thigh; the former of these is often humorously referred to as the type or standard of physical strength.
RSatUSZ has been adding tons of text to this and other articles. All these contributions need some work before being included into their articles. So, I drop the biceps imaging material here on the talk just in case someone would find this useful. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 17:13, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

The conventional radiography can illustrate the bony channel for the long head tendon. This bicipital sulcus is delineated by the major and minor humeral tuberosities. Fractures with subsequent deformation of the sulcus may lead to painful internal or external rotation. A conventional radiography can clearly depict these deformations.[1]
De Maeseneer described in the publicly accessible paper the specific tendon imaging in the following way: “The tendon of the long head of the biceps muscle attaches to the antero-superior aspect of the glenoid rim. The attachment of the biceps tendon may demonstrate four components, including fibers that attach to the antero-superior labrum, the postero-superior labrum, the supraglenoid tubercle, and the base of the coracoid process. From its site of attachment, the biceps tendon courses laterally and exits the gleno-humeral joint through the intertubercular groove, where it is secured by the transverse ligament. The labral-bicipital complex is well visualized on transverse CT or MR arthrograms as well as on coronal MR arthrograms and reconstructed images from coronal CT arthrograms.”[2]
At the ingress through the sulcus intertubercularis the so called pulley system stabilizes the tendon. The pulley system is formed by the coracohumeral and superior glenohumeral ligaments. The intraarticular part of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle accounts to the superior stabilization of the humerus head. In the last few years, injuries of the biceps tendon anchor have been considered as a reason for chronic shoulder pain. Especially in overhead athletes.[3]

Only about 5% of biceps ruptures are distal. They only occur in men and usually around the age of 40 to 60 years, typically after a sudden extension force at a 90° flexed arm in supination.
In 8 out of 10 cases the dominant arm is affected. A predisposition for tendon ruptures in general is a degeneration due to overuse or steroid taking. Predispositive are also systemic diseases like hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus, gout or non-systemic inflammatory thickening of the biceps tendon or bone hypertrophy at the radial tuberosity due to the impingement. Most tendon injuries are located at the tuberositas radialis, which could be explained with a found hypovascularisation of the tendon 1cm more proximally. [5]
Radiological signs for a complete rupture:
With sufficient experience of the examiner, which is an essential factor for a successful ultrasonographic assessment in general, the ultrasound is the method of choice for distal biceps tendon ruptures. This makes an expensive MR imaging mostly unnecessary.
Ultrasonographic findings on longitudinal and transversal plane, ventral humero-radial in supination: Hypoechoic hematoma at the insertion area of the tuberositas radii, instead of a parallel echogenic insertion. Changes of the contour, retraction of the M. biceps brachii and hemarthrosis.[6]
Axial MRI sequences are necessary to determine the exact degree of tendon injury. They can show a proximally thickened and signal increased distal biceps tendon including a surrounding irritative tissue reaction. More distal the tendon profile is not depictable, because it is completely detached from the osseous attachment.[7]
Sagittal sequences are useful for assessing the degree of tendon retraction. A bone marrow edema in the tuberositas radialis and fluid in the bursa bicipito-radialis indicate a partial rupture and facilitate the discrimination to a tendinosis. An isolated bursitis is often clinically not clearly distinguishable from a biceps tendinosis. A biceps tendinosis does affect the tendon’s biomechanical tensile strength negatively. Hematoma or large effusion in the bursa could cause nerve compression of the N. medianus, N. radialis or Nn. interosseus posteriores.
A conservative treatment leads to a loss of 30-40% strength in flexion and supination. It is therefore recommended to surgically re-fix the tendon to the tuberositas radialis within the first 2 weeks after the trauma, especially in physically active patients with high expectations. Within the first 2 weeks the muscle gets neither scarred nor retracted.

The biceps brachii muscle is the one that gave all muscles their name: it comes from the Latin musculus, "little mouse", because the appearance of the flexed biceps resembles the back of a mouse. The same phenomenon occurred in Greek, in which μῦς, mȳs, means both "mouse" and "muscle".

Should there be a

The result of the move request was: Not moved. The consensus here is that the common name is "biceps". There doesn't seem to be consensus here that consistency/etc should override that, which is often the case where an article has a common name that really stands out among its peer topics.

Biceps → Biceps brachii muscle – This was the name of the article page before it was changed a decade ago, and I believe it should return. Biceps is workout slang and isn't accurate as it can also refer to the Biceps femoris. While the common name is just Biceps, it isn't used in the medical community. For more reasons why the medical term should be used, see this discussion from when I proposed that Rectus abdominis should be just Abs. "Muscle" should be added back in too, per the consensus and WP:CONSISTENT, as all other muscle articles end with muscle. Invinciblewalnut (talk) 22:50, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Support, Though both names seem to be correct but I will go with the medical term as the article is more related to medical field. signed, Iflaq (talk) 06:09, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
