Study Notes
Deltoid Muscle
- Origin: Lateral one-third of the anterior clavicle, lateral acromion, and inferior scapular spine.
- Insertion: Deltoid tuberosity of the humerus.
- Innervation: Anterior and posterior branches of the axillary nerve (C5, C6).
- Action:
- Clavicular part: Flexes and medially rotates the arm.
- Acromial part: Abducts the arm (primary action).
- Spinal part: Extends and laterally rotates the arm.
- Blood Supply: Posterior circumflex humeral artery and deltoid branch of the thoracoacromial artery.
