_Relations._--Lateral surface with the integument, and at the proximal
end with the spinodeltoid and acromiodeltoid (Fig. 75, _e_ and _f_).
Medial surface with the brachialis (Fig. 75, _i_), the caput longum
(_g_), the caput mediale, the brachioradialis (_k_), the anconeus (Fig.
80, _l_), and the origins of the extensor carpi radialis longus (Fig.
75, _l_), the extensor communis digitorum (_m_), and the extensor
digitorum lateralis (_n_).
=Caput longum= (anconeus longus) (Fig. 75, _g_; Fig. 68, _k_; Fig. 77,
_i_).--A prismatic, fusiform mass connecting the scapula with the
olecranon.
_Origin_ (Fig. 78, _i_) by a thick, flat tendon from a triangular area
one or two centimeters long at the glenoid end of the scapula on the
glenoid border. The base of the area is about one millimeter from the
margin of the glenoid fossa.
_Insertion_ (Fig. 86, _b_).--The muscle ends in a thick tendon which
passes over the bifurcated ventral end of the olecranon and is inserted
upon the rounded tuberosity which forms the dorsal angle of the
olecranon.
_Relations._--Lateral surface with the caput laterale (Fig. 75, _h_), a
portion of the caput mediale (Fig. 77, _j_ and _k_), the spinodeltoid
(Fig. 75, _e_), the infraspinatus (Fig. 75, _c_), and the integument.
Medial surface with the epitrochlearis (Fig. 65, _r_) and the conjoined
portions of the latissimus dorsi and teres major (Fig. 79, _d′_).
Ventral border with the caput mediale (Fig. 77, _j_ and _k_).
=Caput mediale.=--The medial head consists of three portions (Fig. 79,
_g_, _h_, _j_).
(1) The long portion (anconeus posterior) (Fig. 77, _j_; Fig. 79, _g_;
Fig. 80, _f_).
_Origin_ (Fig. 83, _e_) from a triangular area on the dorsal surface of
the humeral shaft. The base of the area is against the articular head,
and its apex about one-sixth the length of the humerus from the head. It
is between the coracobrachialis and the lateral head of the triceps.

tuberosity of humerus; 2, 3, superficial radial and dorsal
interosseous branches, respectively, of the radial nerve.]
_Insertion_ (Fig. 86, _a_).--The muscle ends in a long, slender tendon
which passes through the furrow on the ventral angle of the olecranon
and is inserted into an oblique ridge which forms the dorsal limit of
the furrow. The tendon is separated from the floor of the furrow by a
synovial bursa.
