Which of the following muscles is innervated primarily by the C6 nerve root?

The brachioradialis muscle is primarily innervated by the C6 nerve root, which is responsible for providing motor function to this muscle. The brachioradialis plays a crucial role in flexing the elbow, particularly when the forearm is in a mid-prone position.

Additionally, the C6 nerve root contributes to the sensory and motor innervation of several muscles in the upper limb, particularly those involved in flexion. In contrast, the biceps, while also innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve (which is primarily derived from C5-C6), has a more significant contribution from the C5 nerve root. The triceps muscle is primarily innervated by the radial nerve, which primarily arises from C6-C8, but C7 is more dominant. The patellar reflex is associated with the L4 nerve root, which is not related to the muscles directly innervated by C6. Therefore, the brachioradialis stands out as the correct response regarding primary innervation from the C6 nerve root.
