This tutorial covers the anconeus muscle, detailing its origin, insertion, innervation, and function. The anconeus is a small triangular muscle at the elbow, originating from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and inserting at the olecranon of the ulna. It is innervated by the radial nerve and functions similarly to the triceps, aiding in forearm extension and stabilizing the ulna. The video emphasizes the muscle's role in preventing hyperextension damage and offers additional resources for further learning.
