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 ...
The external rotator muscles include: Muscles. of arm/humerus at shoulder [1] Deltoid muscle; Supraspinatus; Infraspinatus; Teres minor; of thigh/femur at hip [2]
Arm and shoulder. of arm at shoulder (raising arm) [1] [2] Supraspinatus 0-15; Deltoid 15-90; ... Gluteus maximus muscle; Gluteus medius muscle; Gluteus minimus muscle;
Building big arms is a common gym goal—but you'll need to focus on these four muscles: the deltoids, biceps, triceps, and forearms. Building big arms is a common gym goal—but you'll need to ...
In primates, the arm is adapted for precise positioning of the hand and thus assist in the hand's manipulative tasks. The ball and socket shoulder joint allows for movement of the arms in a wide circular plane, while the structure of the two forearm bones which can rotate around each other allows for additional range of motion at that level.

The lateral intermuscular septum extends from the lower part of the crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus, along the lateral supracondylar ridge, to the lateral epicondyle; it is blended with the tendon of the deltoid muscle, gives attachment to the triceps brachii behind, and to the brachialis, brachioradialis, and extensor carpi radialis longus muscles in front.
The muscles of internal rotation include: of arm/humerus at shoulder. Anterior part of the deltoid muscle [1] Subscapularis [1] Teres major [1] Latissimus dorsi [1] Pectoralis major [1] of thigh/femur at hip [2] Tensor fasciae latae; Gluteus generalis; Anterior fibers of Gluteus meralis; Adductor longus and Adductor brevis; of leg at knee [3 ...
The rotator cuff compresses the glenohumeral joint during abduction of the arm, an action known as concavity compression, in order to allow the large deltoid muscle to further elevate the arm. In other words, without the rotator cuff, the humeral head would ride up partially out of the glenoid fossa, lessening the efficiency of the deltoid muscle.
