Manute Bol's son Bol Bol is a rising high school prospect with serious game. Even we hadn't told you that Bol Bol was Manute Bol's son, you might have been able to figure it out just by how much he physically resembles his father. The younger Bol was 6-foot-5 in seventh grade -- two years ago -- and while he might never reach his father's NBA-record 7-7 height, he's already got some game:
The biceps brachii crosses two joints - the shoulder and the elbow - so it can influence movement of both joints. The biceps brachii can bring about a variety of movements when it shortens, including: Supination: turning the palm upward. Let one arm hang with your palm facing behind you. When your biceps brachii contracts, it tugs on the radius and pulls it to the outside. This turns your palm to face forward.
The tendons that connect the biceps muscle to the shoulder joint in two places are called the proximal biceps tendons. The tendon that attaches the biceps muscle to the forearm bones (radius and ulna) is called the distal biceps tendon. When the biceps contracts, it pulls the forearm up and rotates it outward.
