The '''triangular interval''' is thea space betweenfound the long head ofin the [[triceps brachii]] and the [[humerus]], just inferior to the [[teres majoraxilla]].

==Borders==

Two of its borders are as follows:

* [[teres major]] - superior

* long head of the [[triceps brachii]] - medial

Some sources state the lateral border is the [[humerus]],<ref name="title">{{cite web |url=http://anatomy.uams.edu/anatomyhtml/topogr_back.html |title=uams.edu |accessdate=2008-01-02 |format= |work=}}</ref> while others reference the lateral head of the triceps.<ref name="titleUntitled">{{cite web |url=http://www.ucd.ie/vetanat/ga-subject/f-limb/fl1.html |title=ucd.ie |accessdate=2008-01-02 |format= |work=}}</ref> (The effective difference is relatively minor, though.)

==Contents==

The [[radial nerve]] and [[profunda brachii]] pass through the triangular interval.
