The Claim

A four-headed biceps brachii muscle, resulting from the presence of an accessory humeral head and a rare supernumerary pectoral head, can occur unilaterally in human anatomy, as identified in a single cadaveric specimen during routine dissection, and this specific morphological variation has not been previously documented in detail, representing a unique anatomical finding.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Someone was found to have a rare extra-headed bicep muscle in just one arm — something never seen before — during a regular anatomy class dissection.

See the scientific wording

A four-headed biceps brachii muscle, formed by the presence of an accessory humeral head and a rare supernumerary pectoral head, can occur unilaterally in human anatomy, as observed in a single cadaveric specimen during routine dissection. This specific morphological variation has not been previously described in detail, making it a unique anatomical finding.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Four-Headed Biceps Brachii Muscle, with a Rare Pectoralis Major Supernumerary Head: A Cadaveric Case Report

    The study found a rare four-headed biceps muscle in a human body that’s never been described in detail before, which matches exactly what the claim says.
