| | Triceps brachii muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The triceps brachii muscle is a large three-headed skeletal muscle found in humans. | | | The triceps brachii muscle is often simply called the triceps. | | | The triceps account for 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. |

| | The brachialis and brachioradialis muscles flex the elbow and are opposed by the anconeus muscle and the triceps brachii muscle, respectively. | | | The extensor carpi radialis muscles and the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle have a similar relationship to that between the flexor carpi muscles. | | | Muscles associated with the shoulders and upper limbs can be divided into four groups: (1) muscles that position the pectoral girdle, (2) muscles that move the arm, (3) muscles that move the forearm and hand, and (4) muscles that move the hand and fingers. |

| | Tendonitis, a common injury to the triceps brachii, is one such injury that is easily mimicked by exercised induced muscle soreness. | | | Tendonitis, in fact, is a severe form of muscle soreness caused by micro-tears in the muscle fibers. | | | The results of this experiment could lead to improved rehabilitation techniques and understanding of the effects of triceps brachii damage on a pitcher’s ability to perform. |

| | The lower arm is gradually outstretched as the elbow-joint, flexed by the biceps brachii muscle opens, which movement is performed by the triceps brachii muscle. | | | The downstrokes performed with outstretched forelimbs by pectoralis major muscles and the recovery strokes performed with somewhat flexed elbow- and wrist joints by the latissimus dorsi muscles, the deltoid muscles and virtually by the supracoracoideus muscle. | | | The downward movements by which they used to cling to the trunk were performed by the pectoral muscles, and the recovery movements were preformed by the supra-coracoideus muscles. |

| | Antagonist : is a muscle whose action opposes that of a specific agonist (ie., the triceps brachii muscle extends the elbow). | | | Agonist/prime mover : is a muscle whose contraction is mostly responsible for producing a specific movement (ie., the biceps brachii muscle produces flexion at the elbow). | | | For example, in skeletal muscle, a sudden change in the transmembrane potential is the first step that leads to a contraction. |

| | The biceps brachii would be described as an agonist to the brachialis muscle for elbow flexion. | | | A stabilizer is a muscle which anchors or steadies a bone in order that another muscle can exert its action on a joint. | | | If the muscle is stretched a little, some of the "slack" in the system taken up by the stretch so more force can be developed per given stimulus. |

| | Electromyographic activity was detected in all motions examined, suggesting that the biceps muscle acts as a flexor and an abductor of the shoulder. | | | The notion that a particular resistance exercise will cause the entire muscle belly to grow in a uniform manner is at odds with the fact that muscles and muscle fibers are themselves heterogeneous. | | | In fact, the idea that a muscle would respond in a uniform fashion would seem implausible in light of the fact that there are distinct physiological/anatomical differences within a single muscle. |
