Why would there only be one major elbow extensor compared to three elbow flexor?
The Triceps muscle is the most powerful extensor of the elbow and it is innervated by the radial nerve. Triceps has three heads. Long head originates from the Infraglenoid tubercle of scapula Lateral and middle heads originate from posterior surface of shaft of humerus and between them have a groove called the radial/spiral groove through which passes the radial nerve and profunda brachi artery. In fractures of the midshaft of humerus, the radial nerve can thus be damaged. All three heads joint to form a common tendon at back of elbow and attach to the olecranon process of the ulna
