The triceps and marginal muscles were much wasted, and only interosseous extension was possible in the fingers.
The triceps supinator longus and extensor carpi radialis longior were perfect.
Three weeks later, radial sensation returned; but thetriceps was very weak, and wrist-drop was complete.
The triceps reflexes on both sides were increased but there was no tremor or spasm of the arms.
If the lesion is high up, as it is, for example, in crutch paralysis, the triceps and anconeus may also suffer.
The Triceps Inferior hath its Source in the bottom of the Os Pubis, and is implanted in the Thigh-Bone, a little lower than the Triceps Medius.
The Triceps Medius proceeding from the middle of the Os Pubis, is inserted in the Thigh-Bone a little lower than the Triceps Superior.
The Triceps Superior hath its beginning in the top of the Os Pubis, and is terminated in the top of a Line, which is on the inside of the Thigh.
The Adductors of the Thigh are the Triceps Superior, Medius, and Inferior.
The ulna must then be cleared, and the triceps divided at its insertion.
Approximation of the broken surfaces is favoured by extension of the elbow-joint, the triceps muscle being thus relaxed.
Fracture of the olecranon process of the ulna is occasioned by falls on the point of the elbow; or the bone may be snapped asunder by powerful and sudden action of the triceps extensor cubiti, when the arm is much and quickly bent.
The limb is first fully extended, or even hyper-extended, to relax the triceps and free the coronoid process.
The amount of displacement depends upon the level of the fracture, and the extent to which the aponeurotic expansion of the triceps is torn.
It usually follows a fall on the flexed elbow, and results from the direct impact, supplemented by the traction of the triceps muscle.
When the line of fracture is nearer the base, however, the contraction of the triceps tends to separate the fragments widely (Fig.
When union fails to take place, the interval between the fragments tends to increase by the contraction of the triceps gradually stretching the intermediate fibrous tissue, so that a wide gap comes to separate the fragments.
The olecranon and the triceps tendon form a marked prominence on the back of the elbow, the tip of the olecranon lying above and behind the condyles.
In this way the triceps is put upon the stretch and forms a natural posterior splint.
Set" the muscles of the arm by contracting the biceps and triceps with the utmost possible strength.
A typical pair of opposed muscles are the biceps and triceps of the upper arm.
What origins and attachments must the triceps have to make it extend the arm?
And you find that the triceps has three origins high above its one attachment as a tendon, to give it a good strong pull.
In the lower third the artery lies between the biceps which lies above the artery, and the triceps which lies below the artery.
The median basilic unites with the ulnar vein to form the basilic, which runs up the inner part of the arm between the biceps and triceps muscles.
In the middle third the artery lies between the biceps which lies above the artery, and the triceps muscle which lies below the artery.
In the upper third the artery lies between the biceps and coracobrachialis muscles which lie above the artery, and the triceps muscle which lies below the artery.
The function of the triceps is such that it becomes strained upon rare occasions when a horse resists confinement of restraint in such manner that the parts are unduly tensed in contraction.
More or less swelling and supersensitiveness is always present, however, and great care and discrimination must be exercised in digital manipulation of the triceps region because many animals are normally sensitive to palpation of these parts.
Country practitioners, in restraining colts by casting with harness or ropes, occasionally observe a form of paresis wherein the radial nerve suffers sufficient injury that there is caused a temporary loss of function of the triceps brachii.
The triceps group because of its convenient location, constitutes the site for hypodermic injection of drugs and biologic agents, with some practitioners; and as a result, more or less inflammation may occur.
Transverse fractures do not readily unite because of the tension of the triceps muscles, which prevent close approximation of the broken ends of the bone.
The radial nerve supplies branches to the three heads of the triceps brachii, to the common and lateral extensors of the digit and also to the skin covering the forearm.
The function of the triceps as a whole is to flex the shoulder joint and extend the forearm.
But in some cases the triceps group is involved; however, this occurs in unusual and chronic affections.
This fact suggests the folly of letting any one try so severe a thing as a dip, when his triceps and pectoral muscles have not been used to any such heavy work.
Some of the pushing exercises mentioned above for the triceps tend to counteract this, notably that where the fingers or the flat of the hands are pressed against the wall.
Very many of these exercises for the biceps and shoulder have also called on the forearm, while those mentioned for the inner triceps have done the same.
In the more severe triceps work, such as the dips, the strain across these chest-muscles is very great, for they are then a very important factor in helping to hold up the weight of the whole body.
If the triceps muscles are tolerably strong in the start, or in any case at the end of the month in which the last two exercises have been practised, try now a harder thing.
Now you have one of the best known exercises for bringing quick development and good strength to the triceps or back-arm.
Whenever the hands push hard against anything, and so call the triceps muscles into action, these muscles at once combine with them.
The relation of the biceps and triceps to the pectoral muscles is so close that any exercise for the former will be helpful to the latter.
The triceps are the back and inside muscles of the upper arm, and contribute much to the shapeliness as well as usefulness of that member.
Counteract by pressing the fingers forcibly against the wall, or, in lifting the body from the floor in the triceps exercise, use only the fingers and thumbs instead of the palm.
A fourth muscle exists, which veterinary anatomists include in the study of the three portions of the triceps which we have just been discussing, in giving it the name of small extensor of the forearm.
In the dog and the cat the vastus externus is the most voluminous of the three portions which constitute the triceps muscle.
We also partly see there, in these animals, the vastus internus and the rectus of the triceps (see Fig.
The triceps is divided into three portions, which, as in man, have the names middle, or long head; external and internal heads.
It covers the rectus and vastus externus portions of the triceps cruris; it is also in relation with the gluteal muscles.
We then shall have an idea of what the tricepsis in quadrupeds.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "triceps" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
