Question

lateral view
did you know...

• in an adult male, the deltoid weighs just 7 ounces - about the same weight as a small hamster.
• the deltoid was originally called “deltoideus” and some anatomist still use the term today.
• the lateral head is sometimes mistakenly called the “medial” (because it is in the middle). this is ironic since it is the least medial of the three sections.
