  2. Hypocycloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocycloid

    The hypocycloid is a special kind of hypotrochoid, which is a particular kind of roulette. A hypocycloid with three cusps is known as a deltoid. A hypocycloid curve with four cusps is known as an astroid. The hypocycloid with two "cusps" is a degenerate but still very interesting case, known as the Tusi couple.

  3. Deltoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltoid_muscle

    Deltoid muscle with superior limb in abduction. When all its fibers contract simultaneously, the deltoid is the prime mover of arm abduction along the frontal plane. The arm must be medially rotated for the deltoid to have maximum effect. [13] This makes the deltoid an antagonist muscle of the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi during arm ...

  4. Deltoid curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltoid_curve

    In geometry, a deltoid curve, also known as a tricuspoid curve or Steiner curve, is a hypocycloid of three cusps.In other words, it is the roulette created by a point on the circumference of a circle as it rolls without slipping along the inside of a circle with three or one-and-a-half times its radius.

  9. Muscle architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_architecture

    The parallel muscle architecture is found in muscles where the fibers are parallel to the force-generating axis. [1] These muscles are often used for fast or extensive movements and can be measured by the anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA). [3] Parallel muscles can be further defined into three main categories: strap, fusiform, or fan-shaped.
