Muscles have their origins (also known as heads) and insertions. Those are places where the muscles are anchored.
A word biceps is made of two Latin words: bi - two and ceps - head. So, biceps is two-headed muscles. It has two origins: coracoid process of the scapula and supraglenoid tubercle.
Similarly, a word triceps is made of three Latin words: tri - three and ceps - head. So, triceps is three-headed muscles. It has three origins: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula, above the radial sulcus, and below the radial sulcus.

1. Why do you think temperature is the measure of the "average"

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Temperature is the measure of the average energy of motion of all the particles present in a substance because particles of a substance moves due to the presence of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a type of energy that is present in an object due to its motion. When temperature of a substance is increased, the particles absorb heat energy from surrounding environment and starts motion. This motion of particles due to the absorption of heat energy is called kinetic energy. So that's why temperature is considered as a tool to measure average energy of a motion.
