shape of deltoid
The deltoid muscle is a large, triangular muscle located on the shoulder. It is a three-headed muscle that covers the shoulder joint and helps to stabilize and move the arm. The deltoid muscle has three main sections or heads:
1. Anterior deltoid: located on the front of the shoulder, it helps to flex and internally rotate the arm.
2. Medial deltoid: located on the side of the shoulder, it helps to abduct the arm (move it away from the body).
3. Posterior deltoid: located on the back of the shoulder, it helps to extend and externally rotate the arm.
Overall, the deltoid muscle gives the shoulder its rounded appearance and plays a key role in shoulder movement and stability.
