bend the elbow

Ms. Platt made herself my partner, the whole time saying things like “Bend the elbow forty-five degrees, straighten that leg, bigger step.”

Lift your left arm overhead and bend the elbow so the hand comes down between your shoulder blades.

To bend the elbow, for instance, requires thinking about contracting a biceps, though the muscle no longer exists.

Nerves that used to bend the elbow are now making pinching movements.

For instance, the biceps and brachi�us internus muscles, placed in the front part of the upper arm, by their contraction, bend the elbow, and with such a degree of force as the case requires, or the strength admits.
