which you now see the musculo-spiral nerve, is called the external, or long 

 humeral head of the triceps ; the mass below the musculo-spiral groove is called 

 the internal or short humeral head. Trace the triceps muscle to its insertion, 

 into the olecranon process of the ulna. Cut the insertion of the triceps and 

 study the capsule of the elbow-joint and the olecranon fossa.

 of the triceps, notice the large number of branches given off to the muscle from 

 the musculo-spiral nerve, a branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.
