Q

Innervation of Triceps brachii

A

Radial nerve

17
Q

Muscle action of Triceps brachii

A

Chief extensor of forearm; long head resists dislocation of humerus; espe- cially important during adduction

18
Q

Proximal attachment of Anconeus

A

Lateral epicondyle of humerus

19
Q

Distal attachment of Anconeus

A

Lateral surface of olecranon and superior part of posterior surface of ulna

20
Q

Innervation of Anconeus

A

Radial nerve 



21
Q

Muscle action of Anconeus

A
