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, 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 [[nervous system]].<ref>Brown JM, Wickham JB, McAndrew DJ, Huang XF. (2007). Muscles within muscles: Coordination of 19 muscle segments within three shoulder muscles during isometric motor tasks. J Electromyogr Kinesiol. 17(1):57-73. {{PMID|16458022}} {{doi|10.1016/j.jelekin.2005.10.007}}</ref>
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 alphabet|Greek]] capital letter [[Delta (letter)|delta]] (Δ). Deltoid is also further shortened in [[slang]] as "'''delt'''".
A study of 30 shoulders revealed an average mass of {{convert|191.9|g}} in humans, ranging from {{convert|84|g}} to {{convert|366|g}}.<ref name="Potau">Potau JM, Bardina X, Ciurana N, Camprubí D.

===Insertion===
From this extensive origin the fibers converge toward their insertion on the [[deltoid tuberosity]] on the middle of the [[Human anatomical terms#Anatomical directions|lateral]] aspect of the shaft of the [[humerus]]; the middle fibers passing vertically, the anterior obliquely backward and laterally, and the posterior obliquely forward and laterally.
Though traditionally described as a single insertion, the deltoid insertion is divided into two or three discernible areas corresponding to the muscle's three areas of origin. The insertion is an arch-like structure with strong anterior and posterior fascial connections flanking an intervening tissue bridge. It additionally gives off extensions to the [[Brachial fascia|deep brachial fascia]]. Furthermore, the [[deltoid fascia]] contributes to the brachial fascia and is connected to the [[Medial intermuscular septum of arm|medial]] and [[Lateral intermuscular septum of arm|lateral intermuscular septa]].

===Blood supply===
The deltoid is supplied by the [[posterior circumflex humeral artery]] and the deltoid branch of the [[thoracoacromial artery]] which branches from the [[axillary artery]].<ref name="Sunny" />

The deltoid is innervated by the [[axillary nerve]].<ref name="Sunny">{{SUNYAnatomyLabs|03|03|01|03}}</ref> The axillary nerve originates from the [[anterior ramus of spinal nerve|anterior rami]] of the [[spinal nerves|cervical nerves]] C5 and C6, via the superior trunk, posterior division of the superior trunk, and the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kenhub.com/en/library/anatomy/the-deltoid-muscle|title=Deltoid muscle|website=Kenhub|language=en|access-date=2019-09-21}}</ref>

The axillary nerve is sometimes damaged during surgical procedures of the [[axilla]], such as for [[breast cancer]]. It may also be injured by anterior dislocation of the head of the humerus.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Avis|first=Duncan|last2=Power|first2=Dominic|date=2018-03-26|title=Axillary nerve injury associated with glenohumeral dislocation|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5890131/|journal=EFORT Open Reviews|volume=3|issue=3|pages=70–77|doi=10.1302/2058-5241.3.170003|issn=2058-5241|pmc=5890131|pmid=29657847}}</ref>
==Function==
[[File:Deltoid muscle.JPG|thumb|right|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.<ref>Radiography of the Upper Extremities: 24 ARRT Category A. CE4RT, 2014. 201. Print.</ref> This makes the deltoid an antagonist muscle of the ''pectoralis major ''and ''[[latissimus dorsi]]'' during arm adduction.
The anterior fibers assist the ''pectoralis major'' to flex the shoulder. The anterior deltoid also works in tandem with the [[subscapularis]], pecs and lats to internally (medially) rotate the humerus.<ref>{{Exrx|Muscles/DeltoidAnterior}}</ref>
The lateral fibers perform basic shoulder abduction when the shoulder is internally rotated, and perform shoulder transverse abduction when the shoulder is externally rotated. They are not utilized significantly during strict transverse extension (shoulder internally rotated) such as in rowing movements, which use the posterior fibers.<ref>{{Exrx|Muscles/DeltoidLateral}}</ref>
The posterior fibers assist the ''[[latissimus dorsi]]'' to extend the shoulder. Other transverse extensors, the ''[[infraspinatus]]'' and ''[[teres minor]]'', also work in tandem with the posterior deltoid as external (lateral) rotators, antagonists to strong internal rotators like the pecs and lats.<ref>{{Exrx|Muscles/DeltoidPosterior}}</ref>
An important function of the deltoid in humans is preventing the [[dislocation (medicine)|dislocation]] of the [[humeral]] head when a person carries heavy loads. The function of abduction also means that it would help keep carried objects a safer distance away from the thighs to avoid hitting them, as during a [[farmer's walk]]. It also ensures a precise and rapid movement of the [[glenohumeral joint]] needed for hand and arm manipulation.<ref name="Potau"/> The lateral fibers are in the most efficient position to perform this role, though like basic abduction movements (such as lateral raise) it is assisted by simultaneous co-contraction of anterior/posterior fibers.<ref>http://muscleguide.co.uk/exercises/lateral-deltoid-raise.html</ref>
The deltoid is responsible for elevating the arm in the scapular plane and its contraction in doing this also elevates the humeral head. To stop this compressing against the undersurface of the [[acromion]] the humeral head and injuring the [[Supraspinatus muscle|supraspinatus tendon]], there is a simultaneous contraction of some of the muscles of the [[rotator cuff]]: the [[infraspinatus]] and subscapularis primarily perform this role. In spite of this there may be still a 1–3 mm upward movement of the head of the humerus during the first 30° to 60° of arm elevation.<ref name="Potau"/>
==Clinical significance==
The most common abnormalities affecting the deltoid are tears, fatty atrophy, and [[enthesopathy]]. Deltoid muscle tears are unusual and frequently related to traumatic shoulder dislocation or massive rotator cuff tears. Muscle atrophy is the result of various causes, including aging, disuse, [[denervation]], [[muscular dystrophy]], [[cachexia]] and [[Iatrogenesis|iatrogenic injury]]. Deltoideal humeral enthesopathy is an exceedingly rare condition related to mechanical stress. Conversely, deltoideal acromial enthesopathy is likely a hallmark of seronegative spondylarthropathies and its detection should probably be followed by pertinent clinical and serological investigation.<ref>Arend CF. Ultrasound of the Shoulder. Master Medical Books, 2013. Chapter on deltoideal enthesopathy available at [http://www.shoulderus.com/ultrasound-of-the-shoulder/deltoid-ultrasound-entesopathy/ ShoulderUS.com]</ref>
==Other animals==
The deltoid is also found in members of the [[Hominidae|great ape]] family other than humans. The human deltoid is of similar proportionate size as the muscles of the rotator cuff in apes like the [[orangutan]], which engage in [[brachiation]] and possess the muscle mass needed to support the body weight by the shoulders. In other apes, like the [[common chimpanzee]], the deltoid is much larger than in humans, weighing an average of 383.3 gram compared to 191.9 gram in humans. This reflects the need to strengthen the shoulders, particularly the rotatory cuff, in [[knuckle walking]] apes for the purpose of supporting the entire body weight.<ref name="Potau"/>

===Insertion===
From this extensive origin the fibers converge toward their insertion on the [[deltoid tuberosity]] on the middle of the [[Human anatomical terms#Anatomical directions|lateral]] aspect of the shaft of the [[humerus]]; the middle fibers passing vertically, the anterior obliquely backward and laterally, and the posterior obliquely forward and laterally.
Though traditionally described as a single insertion, the deltoid insertion is divided into two or three discernible areas corresponding to the muscle's three areas of origin. The insertion is an arch-like structure with strong anterior and posterior fascial connections flanking an intervening tissue bridge. It additionally gives off extensions to the [[Brachial fascia|deep brachial fascia]]. Furthermore, the [[deltoid fascia]] contributes to the brachial fascia and is connected to the [[Medial intermuscular septum of arm|medial]] and [[Lateral intermuscular septum of arm|lateral intermuscular septa]].

===Blood supply===
The deltoid is supplied by the [[posterior circumflex humeral artery]] and the deltoid branch of the [[thoracoacromial artery]] which branches from the [[axillary artery]].<ref name="Sunny" />
===Nerve supply===
The deltoid is innervated by the [[axillary nerve]].<ref name="Sunny">{{SUNYAnatomyLabs|03|03|01|03}}</ref> The axillary nerve originates from the [[anterior ramus of spinal nerve|anterior rami]] of the [[spinal nerves|cervical nerves]] C5 and C6, via the superior trunk, posterior division of the superior trunk, and the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kenhub.com/en/library/anatomy/the-deltoid-muscle|title=Deltoid muscle|website=Kenhub|language=en|access-date=2019-09-21}}</ref>
Studies have shown that there are seven neuromuscular segments to the deltoid muscle. Three of these lie in the anatomical anterior head of the deltoid, one in the anatomical middle head, and three in the anatomical posterior head of the deltoid.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Brown |first1=J M M |last2=Wickham |first2=J B |last3=McAndrew |first3=D J |last4=Huang |first4=X F |title=Muscles within muscles: Coordination of 19 muscle segments within three shoulder muscles during isometric motor tasks |journal=Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology |date=2007 |volume=17 |issue=1 |pages=57–73 |doi=10.1016/j.jelekin.2005.10.007 |pmid=16458022 }}</ref> These neuromuscular segments are supplied by smaller branches of the axillary nerve, and work in coordination with other muscles of the shoulder girdle include pectoralis major and supraspinatus.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Brown |first1=J M M |last2=Wickham |first2=J B |last3=McAndrew |first3=D J |last4=Huang |first4=X F |title=Muscles within muscles: Coordination of 19 muscle segments within three shoulder muscles during isometric motor tasks |journal=Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology |date=2007 |volume=17 |issue=1 |pages=57–73 |doi=10.1016/j.jelekin.2005.10.007 |pmid=16458022 }}</ref>
The axillary nerve is sometimes damaged during surgical procedures of the [[axilla]], such as for [[breast cancer]]. It may also be injured by anterior dislocation of the head of the humerus.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Avis|first=Duncan|last2=Power|first2=Dominic|date=2018-03-26|title=Axillary nerve injury associated with glenohumeral dislocation|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5890131/|journal=EFORT Open Reviews|volume=3|issue=3|pages=70–77|doi=10.1302/2058-5241.3.170003|issn=2058-5241|pmc=5890131|pmid=29657847}}</ref>
==Function==
[[File:Deltoid muscle.JPG|thumb|right|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.<ref>Radiography of the Upper Extremities: 24 ARRT Category A. CE4RT, 2014. 201. Print.</ref> This makes the deltoid an antagonist muscle of the ''pectoralis major ''and ''[[latissimus dorsi]]'' during arm adduction.
The anterior fibers assist the ''pectoralis major'' to flex the shoulder. The anterior deltoid also works in tandem with the [[subscapularis]], pecs and lats to internally (medially) rotate the humerus.<ref>{{Exrx|Muscles/DeltoidAnterior}}</ref>
The lateral fibers perform basic shoulder abduction when the shoulder is internally rotated, and perform shoulder transverse abduction when the shoulder is externally rotated. They are not utilized significantly during strict transverse extension (shoulder internally rotated) such as in rowing movements, which use the posterior fibers.<ref>{{Exrx|Muscles/DeltoidLateral}}</ref>
The posterior fibers assist the ''[[latissimus dorsi]]'' to extend the shoulder. Other transverse extensors, the ''[[infraspinatus]]'' and ''[[teres minor]]'', also work in tandem with the posterior deltoid as external (lateral) rotators, antagonists to strong internal rotators like the pecs and lats.<ref>{{Exrx|Muscles/DeltoidPosterior}}</ref>
An important function of the deltoid in humans is preventing the [[dislocation (medicine)|dislocation]] of the [[humeral]] head when a person carries heavy loads. The function of abduction also means that it would help keep carried objects a safer distance away from the thighs to avoid hitting them, as during a [[farmer's walk]]. It also ensures a precise and rapid movement of the [[glenohumeral joint]] needed for hand and arm manipulation.<ref name="Potau"/> The lateral fibers are in the most efficient position to perform this role, though like basic abduction movements (such as lateral raise) it is assisted by simultaneous co-contraction of anterior/posterior fibers.<ref>http://muscleguide.co.uk/exercises/lateral-deltoid-raise.html</ref>
The deltoid is responsible for elevating the arm in the scapular plane and its contraction in doing this also elevates the humeral head. To stop this compressing against the undersurface of the [[acromion]] the humeral head and injuring the [[Supraspinatus muscle|supraspinatus tendon]], there is a simultaneous contraction of some of the muscles of the [[rotator cuff]]: the [[infraspinatus]] and subscapularis primarily perform this role. In spite of this there may be still a 1–3 mm upward movement of the head of the humerus during the first 30° to 60° of arm elevation.<ref name="Potau"/>
==Clinical significance==
The most common abnormalities affecting the deltoid are tears, fatty atrophy, and [[enthesopathy]]. Deltoid muscle tears are unusual and frequently related to traumatic shoulder dislocation or massive rotator cuff tears. Muscle atrophy is the result of various causes, including aging, disuse, [[denervation]], [[muscular dystrophy]], [[cachexia]] and [[Iatrogenesis|iatrogenic injury]]. Deltoideal humeral enthesopathy is an exceedingly rare condition related to mechanical stress. Conversely, deltoideal acromial enthesopathy is likely a hallmark of seronegative spondylarthropathies and its detection should probably be followed by pertinent clinical and serological investigation.<ref>Arend CF. Ultrasound of the Shoulder. Master Medical Books, 2013. Chapter on deltoideal enthesopathy available at [http://www.shoulderus.com/ultrasound-of-the-shoulder/deltoid-ultrasound-entesopathy/ ShoulderUS.com]</ref>
==Other animals==
The deltoid is also found in members of the [[Hominidae|great ape]] family other than humans. The human deltoid is of similar proportionate size as the muscles of the rotator cuff in apes like the [[orangutan]], which engage in [[brachiation]] and possess the muscle mass needed to support the body weight by the shoulders. In other apes, like the [[common chimpanzee]], the deltoid is much larger than in humans, weighing an average of 383.3 gram compared to 191.9 gram in humans. This reflects the need to strengthen the shoulders, particularly the rotatory cuff, in [[knuckle walking]] apes for the purpose of supporting the entire body weight.<ref name="Potau"/>

<p>Previous studies showed that the insertion of the intramuscular tendons of the deltoid muscle formed three discrete sets of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Muscle_fiber" class="mw-redirect" title="Muscle fiber">muscle fibers</a>, often referred to as "heads":<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup>

<p>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.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a></sup> This makes the deltoid an antagonist muscle of the <i>pectoralis major </i>and <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Latissimus_dorsi" class="mw-redirect" title="Latissimus dorsi">latissimus dorsi</a></i> during arm adduction.
</p><p>The anterior fibers assist the <i>pectoralis major</i> to flex the shoulder. The anterior deltoid also works in tandem with the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Subscapularis" class="mw-redirect" title="Subscapularis">subscapularis</a>, pecs and lats to internally (medially) rotate the humerus.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a></sup>
</p><p>The lateral fibers perform basic shoulder abduction when the shoulder is internally rotated, and perform shoulder transverse abduction when the shoulder is externally rotated. They are not utilized significantly during strict transverse extension (shoulder internally rotated) such as in rowing movements, which use the posterior fibers.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a></sup>
</p><p>The posterior fibers assist the <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Latissimus_dorsi" class="mw-redirect" title="Latissimus dorsi">latissimus dorsi</a></i> to extend the shoulder. Other transverse extensors, the <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Infraspinatus" class="mw-redirect" title="Infraspinatus">infraspinatus</a></i> and <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Teres_minor" class="mw-redirect" title="Teres minor">teres minor</a></i>, also work in tandem with the posterior deltoid as external (lateral) rotators, antagonists to strong internal rotators like the pecs and lats.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a></sup>
</p><p>An important function of the deltoid in humans is preventing the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Dislocation_(medicine)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dislocation (medicine)">dislocation</a> of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Humeral" class="mw-redirect" title="Humeral">humeral</a> head when a person carries heavy loads. The function of abduction also means that it would help keep carried objects a safer distance away from the thighs to avoid hitting them, as during a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Farmer%27s_walk" class="mw-redirect" title="Farmer's walk">farmer's walk</a>. It also ensures a precise and rapid movement of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Glenohumeral_joint" class="mw-redirect" title="Glenohumeral joint">glenohumeral joint</a> needed for hand and arm manipulation.<sup id="cite_ref-Potau_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Potau-2">[2]</a></sup> The lateral fibers are in the most efficient position to perform this role, though like basic abduction movements (such as lateral raise) it is assisted by simultaneous co-contraction of anterior/posterior fibers.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a></sup>
</p><p>The deltoid is responsible for elevating the arm in the scapular plane and its contraction in doing this also elevates the humeral head. To stop this compressing against the undersurface of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Acromion" title="Acromion">acromion</a> the humeral head and injuring the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Supraspinatus_muscle" title="Supraspinatus muscle">supraspinatus tendon</a>, there is a simultaneous contraction of some of the muscles of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Rotator_cuff" title="Rotator cuff">rotator cuff</a>: the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Infraspinatus" class="mw-redirect" title="Infraspinatus">infraspinatus</a> and subscapularis primarily perform this role. In spite of this there may be still a 1–3 mm upward movement of the head of the humerus during the first 30° to 60° of arm elevation.<sup id="cite_ref-Potau_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Potau-2">[2]</a></sup>

<p>The most common abnormalities affecting the deltoid are tears, fatty atrophy, and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Enthesopathy" title="Enthesopathy">enthesopathy</a>. Deltoid muscle tears are unusual and frequently related to traumatic shoulder dislocation or massive rotator cuff tears. Muscle atrophy is the result of various causes, including aging, disuse, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Denervation" title="Denervation">denervation</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Muscular_dystrophy" title="Muscular dystrophy">muscular dystrophy</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Cachexia" title="Cachexia">cachexia</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Iatrogenesis" title="Iatrogenesis">iatrogenic injury</a>. Deltoideal humeral enthesopathy is an exceedingly rare condition related to mechanical stress. Conversely, deltoideal acromial enthesopathy is likely a hallmark of seronegative spondylarthropathies and its detection should probably be followed by pertinent clinical and serological investigation.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a></sup>

<p>The deltoid is also found in members of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Hominidae" title="Hominidae">great ape</a> family other than humans. The human deltoid is of similar proportionate size as the muscles of the rotator cuff in apes like the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Orangutan" title="Orangutan">orangutan</a>, which engage in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Brachiation" title="Brachiation">brachiation</a> and possess the muscle mass needed to support the body weight by the shoulders. In other apes, like the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Common_chimpanzee" class="mw-redirect" title="Common chimpanzee">common chimpanzee</a>, the deltoid is much larger than in humans, weighing an average of 383.3 gram compared to 191.9 gram in humans. This reflects the need to strengthen the shoulders, particularly the rotatory cuff, in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Knuckle_walking" class="mw-redirect" title="Knuckle walking">knuckle walking</a> apes for the purpose of supporting the entire body weight.<sup id="cite_ref-Potau_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Potau-2">[2]</a></sup>
