The triceps, or triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. It consists of three parts: the medial, lateral, and long head. [1] It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).
The medial muscular branches supply the medial head of the triceps brachii. That to the medial head is a long, slender filament, which lies close to the ulnar nerve as far as the lower third of the arm, and is therefore frequently spoken of as the ulnar collateral nerve.
The radial nerve is a nerve in the human body that supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb.It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm and the associated joints and overlying skin.
Skull crushers target the long head of the triceps, providing a unique movement pattern for muscle engagement. ... Perform four sets of 12 to 15 reps to target the triceps' medial and lateral ...

The triceps muscle, scientifically known as the triceps brachii, sits along the backside of your upper arm. While it's one muscle, there are three sections: the long head, lateral head, and medial ...
The lateral head is on the outer side of the upper arm and travels from the humerus to the elbow. The medial head is located in the middle of the back of the upper arm and travels from the humerus ...
The triangular interval is bounded medially by long head of triceps brachii, laterally by medial border of humerus (some say the lateral head of the triceps), and superiorly by teres major. The radial nerve and profunda brachii artery and vein passes through this space.
