Larvae and Postlarvae. Planktonic larval life begins as the female lobster raises her abdomen and vigorously fans the pleopods to which the prelarvae are attached. This fanning breaks the cement attachment to the prelarvae and propels them upwards toward the water surface.

The biceps brachii, sometimes known simply as the biceps, is a skeletal muscle that is involved in the movement of the elbow and shoulder. It is a double-headed muscle, meaning that it has two points of origin or heads in the shoulder area. The short head of each biceps brachii originates at the top of the scapula (at the coracoid process). The long head originates just above the shoulder joint (at the supraglenoid tubercle).
