The video tutorial explains the anatomy and function of the angun eus muscle, located near the ulnar arch. It originates from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and attaches to the olecranon of the ulna. The muscle is innervated by the radial nerve, which is part of the brachial plexus. Morphologically, it is an extension of the triceps brachii and functions as an extensor of the forearm, contributing to joint stabilization. The muscle is easily located on the back of the forearm and is best felt when the arm is stretched against resistance.
