1. Deltoid muscle

   The deltoid muscle is the muscle 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 appears to be made up of three distinct sets of muscle fibers, namely the anterior or clavicular part (pars clavicularis) posterior or scapular part (pars scapularis) intermediate or acromial part (pars acromialis)However, electromyography suggests that it consists of at least seven groups that can be independently coordinated by the nervous system.It was previously called the deltoideus (plural deltoidei) and the name is still used by some anatomists. It is called so because it is in the shape of the Greek capital letter delta (Δ). Deltoid is also further shortened in slang as "delt". A study of 30 shoulders revealed an average mass of 191.9 grams (6.77 oz) in humans, ranging from 84 grams (3.0 oz) to 366 grams (12.9 oz).

1. deltoid muscle

   The deltoid muscle is a large, triangular muscle that covers the shoulder joint in humans, allowing for a range of movements and providing the rounded contour of the shoulder.

1. Deltoid muscle

   In human anatomy, the deltoid muscle is the muscle forming the rounded contour of the shoulder. Anatomically, it appears to be made up of three distinct sets of fibers though electromyography suggests that it consists of at least seven groups that can be independently coordinated by the central nervous system. It was previously called the deltoideus and the name is still used by some anatomists. It is called so because it is in the shape of the Greek letter Delta. It is also known as the common shoulder muscle, particularly in lower animals. Deltoid is also further shortened in slang as "delt". The plural forms of all three incarnations are deltoidei, deltoids and delts. A study of 30 shoulders revealed an average weight of 191.9 grams in humans.
