How are the deltoid muscles structured? The deltoid muscles have three parts, or heads: Anterior deltoids: The front delts that help move your arm forward. They connect to your clavicle. You use your front delts if you reach for an object on a shelf. Lateral deltoids: Side delts that help move your arm out to the side, as well as up and down.

The Deltoid muscle is a large triangular-shaped muscle that lies over the glenohumeral joint and which gives the shoulder its rounded contour. It is comprised of three distinct portions (anterior or clavicular, middle or acromial, and posterior or spinal)

Anatomically, the deltoid muscle is made up of three distinct sets of muscle fibers, namely the anterior or clavicular part (pars clavicularis) posterior or scapular part (pars scapularis) intermediate or acromial part (pars acromialis) The deltoid's fibres are Pennate muscle.
