Yes. Deltoid (Delta like.) is the prime mover of arm. It moves shoulder joint in forward, backward and laterally. It is a continuation ofTrapeziusmuscle. It is 'not' mentioned in any anatomy books. But you can verify it. Trapezius is inserted in inner side of clavicle and spine of scapula and from outer side of the same Deltoid muscle starts.

What is the prime mover muscle of shoulder horizontal adduction?
Because shoulder horizontal adduction is performed when the arm is horizontal position (i.e., the elbow is level with shoulder) and adduction is movement toward the center of the body, shoulder horizontal adduction is performed primarily by pectoralis major and anterior deltoid, with an assist by latissimus dorsi.
What is the abductor of the upper arm?
Abduction of the arm occurs in three segments, and hence is performed by three different sets of muscles. From 0-15 degrees, the arm is abducted by the Supraspinatus muscle. From 15-90 degrees, the arm is abducted by the Deltoid muscle. From 90-180 degrees, the arm as abducted by the Trapezius muscle with help from the Serratus Anterior muscle.
What is the upper arm that is used as an injection site is called?
The deltoid, located on the upper arm.
Does the deltoid muscle act to adduct the arm at the shoulder?
Yes. Deltoid (Delta like.) is the prime mover of arm. It moves shoulder joint in forward, backward and laterally. It is a continuation ofTrapeziusmuscle. It is 'not' mentioned in any anatomy books. But you can verify it. Trapezius is inserted in inner side of clavicle and spine of scapula and from outer side of the same Deltoid muscle starts.
Name two muscles that reverse the movement of the deltoid muscle?
FIXATORS are synergists which immobilize the origin of the prime mover so that the prime mover can act more efficiently. For example, the deltoid is the prime mover of arm abduction. The deltoid muscle originates on the scapula, which is a moveable bone. The pectoralis minor, rhomboids, and trapezius muscles attach the scapula to the axial skeleton. When the deltoid contracts to abduct the arm, these other muscles hold the scapula still and therefore act as fixators. http://people.morehead-st.edu/fs/m.mcmurr/231-L11.html this should help you. :) weesa
The muscle that abducts the arm and is also the muscle that receives injections that are given in the arm is the?
Deltoid
Prime mover for shoulder flexion?
The prime mover for shoulder flexion is the anterior deltoid muscle. This muscle is responsible for lifting the arm forward and upward at the shoulder joint.
What means the arm moves inward and toward the side of the body?
When the arms moves inward and toward the side of the body refers to a condition called adduction. The arms and legs can do this at any point and turn inward towards the mid line of the body.
What are the synergistic muscles of the thigh?
Biceps and brachioradialis. The bicep is the prime mover in elbow joint movement and the brachioradialis acts as a synergistic muscle to stabilize the joint, thus aiding in the motion.
What do the middle fibers of the deltoid muscles do?
The middle fibers of the deltoid abduct the arm.
What do the middle fibers of the deltoid muscle do?
The middle fibers of the deltoid abduct the arm.
Is deltoid a arm?
No, it is the shoulder muscle.
