Origin and insertion The coracobrachialis is a slender muscle that originates from the deep surface of the coracoid process of scapula. The muscle fibers run inferolaterally towards the humerus. They insert onto the anteromedial surface of the humeral shaft, between the brachialis muscle and the medial head of triceps.

Extensor hallucis brevis muscle (Musculus extensor hallucis brevis) Extensor hallucis brevis is a short muscle located in the dorsum of the foot, attaching between the calcaneus and proximal phalanx of the big toe (hallux). ... Sometimes, the fibers of these two muscles fuse, making a single muscle that extends the toes.
