:It has three heads:
:It has three heads:
:'''Origin''':
:'''Origin''':
::''Long head'': caudal margin of the scapula
::''Long'' head: Caudal margin of the scapula
::''Lateral'' and ''medial heads'': shaft of the humerus
::''Lateral'' and ''Medial'' heads: Shaft of the humerus (lateral and medial aspects, respectively)
:'''Insertion''': Olecranon, proteced by the tricipital bursa against the bone, and subcutaneous bursa against the skin
:'''Insertion''': Olecranon, proteced by the tricipital bursa against the bone, and subcutaneous bursa against the skin
:'''Action''': Extends and stabilizes the elbow
'''''Tensor fasciae antebrachii'''''
'''''Tensor fasciae antebrachii'''''
:'''Innervation''': Radial n. from the brachial plexus
:'''Innervation''': Radial n. from the brachial plexus
:Overlies the triceps extending from the scapula to the olecranon
:Overlies the triceps extending from the scapula to the olecranon
:'''Origin''': Caudal border of the scapula
:'''Insertion''':Antebrachial fascia
:'''Action''': Tenses antibrachial fascia and extends the elbow
'''''Anconeus'''''
'''''Anconeus'''''
:'''Innervation''': Radial n. from the brachial plexus
:'''Innervation''': Radial n. from the brachial plexus
:'''Origin''': distal humerus
:'''Origin''': Distal humerus and olecranon fossa,deep to the triceps
:'''Insertion''': lateral olecranon
:'''Insertion''': Lateral olecranon, joining the lateral head of the triceps
:'''Action''': Extends the elbow
:'''Innervation''': Musculocutaneous n. from the brachial plexus
:'''Innervation''': Musculocutaneous n. from the brachial plexus
:'''Origin''': Supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
:'''Origin''': Supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
:'''Insertion''': Medial tuberosity of the proximal radius and adjacent ulna
:'''Insertion''': Distally, the muscle divides into a medial and lateral portion.
:It runs through the intertubercular groove of the humerus.
:: Medial - Medial tuberosity on the proximal radius
:: Lateral - Proximal radius and ulna
:It runs through the intertubercular groove of the humerus facilitated by the '''bicipital bursa'''.
::'''Action''': Flexes the elbow, extends and stabilises the shoulder during the stance phase
'''''Brachialis'''''
'''''Brachialis'''''
:'''Innervation''': Musculocutaneous n. from the brachial plexus
:'''Innervation''': Musculocutaneous n. from the brachial plexus
:'''Origin''': Proximocaudal humerus
:'''Origin''': Proximocaudal humerus
:'''Insertion''': Spirals to insert next to biceps
:'''Insertion''': Spirals to insert next to biceps on the medial radius
:'''Action''': Flexes the elbow
