The deltoid muscle is the muscle [citation needed] forming the rounded contour of the human shoulder. It is also known as the 'common shoulder muscle', particularly in other animals such as the domestic cat. Anatomically, the deltoid muscle is made up of three distinct sets of muscle fibers, namely the anterior or clavicular part (pars ...
The deltoid muscle covers the top of each shoulder joint. This deltoid muscles workout uses dumbbells to improve posture, mobility, strength and shoulder injury risk.
Deltoid (delta-shaped) can refer to: The deltoid muscle, a muscle in the shoulder; Kite (geometry), also known as a deltoid, a type of quadrilateral; A deltoid curve, a three-cusped hypocycloid; A leaf shape; The deltoid tuberosity, a part of the humerus; The deltoid ligament, a ligament in the ankle
In human anatomy, the deltoid tuberosity is a rough, triangular [1] area on the antero lateral (front-side) surface of the middle of the humerus. [2] It is a site of attachment of deltoid muscle . [ 2 ]
The deltoid muscle covers the shoulder joint on three sides, arising from the front upper third of the clavicle, the acromion, and the spine of the scapula, and travelling to insert on the deltoid tubercle of the humerus. [3]
The rear delt raise, also known as the rear deltoid raise, or rear shoulder raise is an exercise in weight training. This exercise is an isolation exercise that heavily works the posterior deltoid muscle. The movement is primarily limited to the two shoulder joints: the glenohumeral joint and the scapulothoracic joint.
The deltopectoral groove is an indentation in the muscular structure between the deltoid muscle and pectoralis major. [ 1 ] It is the location through which the cephalic vein passes and where the coracoid process is most easily palpable.
The deltoid tubercle of spine of scapula is a prominence on the spine of scapula. The spine, at lateral to the root of the spine , curves down and laterally to form a lip. [ 1 ] This lip is called the deltoid tubercle.
