The long head from infra-glenoid tubercle, the medial convers most of the posterior area of humerus and the lateral from a ridge above the spiral groove. That is for the brachii Or do you mean Surae?

There are three points or origin for the triceps:

  • The "Long head": infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
  • The "Lateral head": posterior shaft of the humerus, lateral and superior to the radial (spiral) groove.
  • The "Medial head": posterior shaft of the humerus, medial and inferior to the radial (spiral) groove.

That's all from wikipedia, which is actually a great source for anatomy info.
