Detailed explanation-1: -Superficial muscles of the chest and upper arm: The biceps brachii is located in the anterior compartment of the upper arm and flexes and supinates the forearm at the elbow.

Detailed explanation-2: -The three flexors are brachialis, biceps, and brachioradialis. Here’s the brachialis muscle. It arises from this broad area on the anterior humerus.
