deltoid tubercle

This lip is called the deltoid tubercle.

The deltoid tubercle marks the beginning of attachment of deltoid muscle.

Deltoid tubercle may refer to:

Deltoid tubercle (on clavicle)

Middle and inferior fibres of trapezius muscle, and deltoid muscle, attached to the deltoid tubercle.

Deltoid tubercle of spine of scapula is prominence of the spine of scapula.

The size and orientation of its functionally important features, including the deltoid tubercle, greater tubercle, and medial epicondyle, are pivotal to an animal's style of locomotion and habitat.

In cursorial (running) animals such as the pronghorn, the deltoid tubercle is located about a quarter of the way down the shaft, which allows for rapid but relatively weak limb flexion and extension.
