The deltoid muscle is considered an intrinsic muscle of the shoulder. It is not fusiform; instead, it has a multipennate structure, which means its fibers are oriented at multiple angles to the tendons, allowing for a greater range of motion and strength. The deltoid plays a crucial role in shoulder abduction, flexion, and extension.
Muscle fibers can be arranged into two basic structural patterns, fusiform and pinnate. Most human muscles are fusiform, with the fibers largely arranged parallel along the muscle's longitudinal axis. In many of the larger muscles the fibers are inserted obliquely into the tendon, and this arrangement resembles a feather. The fibers in a pinnate (feather) muscle are shorter than those of a fusiform muscle. The arrangement of pinnate muscle fibers can be single or double, as in muscles of the forearm, or multipinnate, as in the gluteus maximus or deltoid.

The deltoid muscle is located around the shoulder at the top. There is a deltoid muscle that is located on each shoulder.
Sharks are typically "fusiform".

Fusiform refers to a shape that is tapered at both ends and wider in the middle, resembling a spindle or an elongated oval. This term is often used in biology to describe certain types of cells or structures, such as fusiform muscle fibers, which are designed for efficient contraction. In botany, fusiform can describe the shape of certain fruits or seeds. The term can also apply in various contexts, including anatomy and design, to indicate a streamlined form.
