The deltoid is responsible for the abduction, flexion, and extension of the shoulder, playing a crucial role in arm movements.

What corresponding muscle does leg raises go to?
Abductor muscle - moves a limb away from the midlineAdductor muscle - moves a limb towards the midlineExtensor muscle - increase the angle at a joint - extends a limbFlexor muscle - decreases the angle at a joint - flexes a limbPronator muscle - turns a limb to face downwardsSupinator muscle - turns a limb to face upwardsRotator muscle - rotates a limbIn the human body, these are the responsible muscles.*Muscles which move the thigh and their action*Gluteus maximus - Extends and rotates thigh laterally.Adductor longus - Adducts, medially rotates and flexes the thighAdductor brevis - Adducts, laterally rotates and flexes the thighAdductor magnus - Adducts, flexes, laterally rotates and extends the thigh.Rectus femoris - Extends knee and flexes hipVastus lateralis - Extends kneeVastus medialis - Extends kneeVastus intermedius - Extends kneeSartorius - Flexes knee.
