Triceps
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 3 parts: the medial, lateral, and long head. It is the muscle principally responsible for extension of the elbow joint (straightening of the arm).
Chest
The pectoral region is located on the anterior chest wall. It contains four muscles that exert a force on the upper limb: the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, serratus anterior and subclavius.
