The triceps brachii muscle (Latin for three-headed muscle of the arm) is the large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).he triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint and an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. It can also fixate the elbow joint when the forearm and hand are used for fine movements, e.g., when writing.
The biceps brachii originates on the front of the scapula of the shoulder and inserts on the front of the radius in the forearm. Due to these attachments, contraction and muscle shortening of the biceps flexes the forearm. The triceps is the antagonist, and its action opposes that of the agonist. The triceps brachii originates on the back of the scapula and humerus, and inserts on the back of the ulna in the forearm. Due to these attachments, the triceps is stretched during forearm flexing. Stretching the muscle causes the triceps muscle to contract and, thus, slow flexion.
