Sounds like you are doing something like a "low seated face pull" (in quotes because I made it up and it doesn't really make sense). Which is kind of like a cable curl (or reverse curl, if your palms are facing away from you). From the way you describe it, anyway. If you are gonna do that, I would do it last, and call it a cable curl. Or you could just do the same thing standing, with dumbbells or a barbell and call them curls. It's a good exercise to throw in for elbow flexion, but at the end because it is an isolation exercise working a small muscle group - which you'll want to be exhausted last and not earlier in the workout so as not to reduce the amount of work you can do with your bigger lifts.
Basically, what stingo said. The second is a tricep extension, except you are doing the negative (eccentric) portion of the lift first. Maybe do them lying down on a bench and start with your elbows in the bent position. (Which is how they're usually done).
