Description
The triceps brachii muscle is a large three-headed skeletal muscle found in humans. It runs along the back of the upper arm. The triceps brachii muscle is often simply called the triceps. However, the term triceps (Latin for three heads) can mean any skeletal muscle having three origins. The three heads are called: The Long HeadThe Lateral HeadThe Medial HeadThe long head is attached to the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula. The lateral and medial heads are attached to the posterior shaft of the humerous, attached to the lateral and medial sides of the spiral groove of the humerous respectively. The lateral head is also superior to the medial head. The fibres converge to a single tendon to insert onto the olecranon process of the ulna. The triceps account for approximately 60 percent of the arm's mass, but people who exercise the arms with weights often neglect this group of muscles in favour of the biceps brachii.
