ANS:
The medial head of the triceps is the first of the three heads of the triceps to be recruited. The lateral head joins the medial head with any need for additional force. The long head will come in only when additional force is necessary, or when simultaneous shoulder extension is desired. The anconeus, as a one-joint elbow extensor, is presumed to be active during most active elbow extension tasks.
