The bicep is located on the front of which part of the arm?

• A. Upper arm back
• B. Upper arm front
• C. Forearm
• D. Shoulders

Answer: (B)

The biceps are located on the front of the upper arm in the anterior compartment. They run from the shoulder region down to the radius, and their main job is elbow flexion and forearm supination. When you bend your elbow or do a bicep curl, you can feel the muscle on the front of the upper arm bulging. The back of the upper arm hosts the triceps, the forearm is farther down from the elbow and contains different muscles, and the shoulders refer to the region at the top where the arm attaches to the trunk. So, the biceps sit on the front part of the upper arm.
